Note: I recommend not using Silk filament for the Helix.
Note 2: AMS Profiles work without AMS - It will only print the one color
The Design
My Latest addition to the V3 Series is here. A full height helix at 179mm (180mm causes issues) with an inner plumbob
The dimensions of the Helix are approximately: 179mm x 46mm x 46mm
The dimensions of the Plumbob are: 68mm x 32mm x 32mm
Clicking the inner part should be fairly intuitive, but i can add images if needed.
Let me know if you experience any issues.

Printing
I recommend not using Silk for the Helix. The build plate needs to be clean for good adhesion
The Helix uses Variable Layer Height to ensure a good finish.
Please ensure filament is relatively dry (wet filament seems to have a poor surface finish)
Once printed let the build plate cool before trying to remove.
2 Print Profiles from me:
Single Color Print by Part
Two Color Print by Part (for A series and P/X Series)
My Work
After many years in Engineering, I've just decided to try and follow my childhood dream of becoming of a Creative Designer.
A Creative Designer of what? No idea! Right now I really like puzzles, mechanisms and kinetic sculptures so that's where I'm going to focus my efforts.
