Here you can download a cylinder-based 3D model that you can import into 3D printing software and print it if you like.
The initial 3D cylinder model was made in Blender software where Simple Deform modifier was also applied. The twisted cylinder thus obtained was then imported into TopMod software, and the Rind modeling command was applied. If you have some ideas on how to use the printed 3D model, feel free to customize it to your requirements in some 3D software and print it on a 3D printer. The 3D model is 3D printer-ready, i.e., the 3D model mesh is of good quality, and the 3D model is pointed towards the Z-axis positive direction, so you only have to scale it to the desired dimensions and print it.
