You haven't even tried to take into account that the thickness varies over the length.
A constant thickness/rectangular volute spring is no big deal as can be seen in the PartDesign Examples:

With SegmentLength=0 you get a single segment, of whih you can measure an edge with the macro curveLength:
it's just a quick suggestion for the production. at least it's right-angled below
I think 2 is enough - you can ignore for start chamfers at and of plate, and only account change in thickness. Then after last step in your example just pocket out top and bottom to get that chamfers. Only lower one is strict on dimension, which would require some math to do if one want to be that close to original thing, the top one is with '~' meaning that this dimension is given roughly. And that is easy solution to problem found by thomas-neemann .
Doing model of plate before rolling is not a target here, also it is not an issue - it is common of two simple Pads, or Pad and Chamfer like FBXL5 did it. I am building models of railroad rolling stock, not actual real sized ones. So what i would need is 3D printable model of ready to use spring. Honestly, i thought that you will do something similar to that ventilation duct you showed earlier, and that actually could be more or less acceptable solution as it would only lack of edit possibility. My second ideas was close to FBXL5's, but with three helixes. First was not using helixes at all but create a Sketch out of four arc's per one turn with radiuses calculated by hand.thomas-neemann wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 7:14 am here is the complete construction with different thicknesses in less than 3 minutes
Cutting off top and bottom is the easiest task.

it is the current trend reversal, that's how it is also interpreted on the stock exchanges
