The spiral is designed to be a great test for your printers vase mode capability's and is a great to look at garden feature when you're done.

1x.. m5x16 set screw
6x.. m5 nuts
4x.. m5 light washer
1x.. F688zz Flanged ball bearing (8mm ID. 16mm OD. 18mm Flange. 5mm thickness)
2x.. screws with rawlplug for mounting
