This is a similar theme to a few of my past builds, but taken to new level with A-shaped LEGO wedge plates. As the outtakes at the end showed, it was challenging getting that final connection without making the build longer. But the longer this type of build, the more 'play' it has within it, and the less satisfying I find it. I'm always striving for the stress limit a given build can take while still being solid and stable.

All that being said, you can bet this won't be the last helical torus I create--and I definitely want to go bigger. 😁

I should also note the special guest appearance of my A-Shaped Wedge Wheel toward the end. I just had to see how these two builds looked together. You can see the video for that build here: [ Ссылка ]
