Out of the Box

Here’s a simplified version of making the above with truebend. For the more complex one I did modify the ends before both bends to make the spiral continuous and solid. Easy to do but a bit too much to fit into the gif. It just requires making the ends half thickness and removing the face before the first bend, and trimming off the ring etc for the second bend. It’s not very smooth because I’m fighting a dodgy mouse. [Truebend]
