Help! Twisted candle in Fusion 360

[kksAZZV7]

Please help me. 🙂

I have run into a problem. I have to design a twisted candle for a customer, but I simply can not figure out how to draw it. 

I have come very close to the look, but the light can not get out of the production mold because the top of the light is not twisted properly.

The twist is a little "handheld" and it is unfortunately not precise enough to be screwed out of the mold. The tip is stuck. I hope it makes sense. I'm trying to attach some files to show you the problem.   find the right solution and can  Can someone tell me how I should approach it.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of mold is it and how do you intend to get the candle out of the mold ?

Are you more or less trying to screw out of the mold ?

Hey @kksAZZV7,

I had a glance through your twisted light design.

You did a great job there,

coming to the tip, you could have unleashed the power of loft.

here's how you can do that,

1. create a profile of an offset semi-circle having some distance from the top.

2. Use revolute and then loft for connecting the two bodies.

The important thing here is to change the connectivity to tangent G1.

See the attached model.

But I can't promise you about the mold.

The attached design is not only parametric (Modify->Change Parameters) , but it also has consistent helical rotation, which should help in removing this from twisting it out of the mold. The main function I used for this is a Sweep with Twist.

Look through the timeline and see if this makes sense. Feel free to ask questions if things are not clear.

Oops!

Set the loft condition for Profile 1 to Tangent(G1)
