Mates practice
I recently came unstuck with my spring mates on a big rotary engine I was making so I made this practice model to work it out. If any newcomers want to view how mates can be used to represent springs then this model is for you, there are also tangent and cam mates. Wind the cam and both springs should work. Yes, I am aware that these springs are not exactly representitive of real springs, but they will move in model mode without refreshing.
