Device to produce PLA springs

Check Out Mekmekmek'S Customizable Version Here: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:188285 Hutch914 Put It In The Makerbot Customizer, Too, If That'S Your Thing. Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1096880 Rather Than Spend Time Printing Springs For A Project, I Made This Little Mold To Make Them Out Of Raw 3Mm Pla Filament. It Measures 3/4" By 3" Tall. Since There Are No Shear Planes In This Twisted Filament, The Springs It Creates Will Be A Lot Tougher Than Anything Printed. I Think This Concept Could Be Used To Produce Torsion Springs As Well As Conical Compression Springs With Different Molds. If You Wrapped The Filament Around A Dowel With The Sides Of The Filament Touching, You Could Make An Extension Spring Instead Of A Compression Spring.
