I need to model the part in the picture. I have done it before, but it wasn't exactly correct, as I just eye balled it. I want to redo it, but the proper way. but I am stumped on how to correctly sweep such a compounding angle along a coil.

Please share your model. Export it as a .f3d file and attach it to a post.

Hi! I believe you want to use Solid Sweep. You need to define the helical path. And find the cutting tool similar to how it would be machined. It should yield the most accuracy geometry.

Many thanks!
