Rigged Spring Addon
If anyone is interested i wrote a small Addon to generate Vertex Weight Rigged Springs, and also a Cylinder one for making bolts of proper dimensions, if anyone is interested :)
Hope this is appropriate, i'm new to this site and just trying to share something i think someone might find useful..:)

I tested the Rigged Spring addon on Blender 2.83.5. It's a neat idea to add a pre-rig "base mesh." But I'm getting a constant "traceback" error message, whenever I try to change the parameters by mouse clinks.
It has great potentials to become a very useful addon. But I feel like I became an involuntary BETA tester. It's not a good idea to make anybody feel like one.
I love your idea behind this addon, though. :) Best,
* @DONG HOON KIM * i would love to see the error since i've tryed it on 2.80 2.81 2.83.4 2.83.5 2.90 and it took me week's to get it working with no errors, i'm not saying it's a final posilished addon, but i did spend a long time working on it. thank you in advance..:) and sorry for the bugs...:/

* @DONG HOON KIM * Ok well this is strange since that was the only bit of code that only worked in 2.83 and i had to change for all other versions, since then i found that i had the wrong version of the file and the new one is using the modified code that works for all version.
ml_modifier_add works on my version of Blender 2.83 and apparently doesn't exist on blender python anymore, i wish i knew where it came from...:(
Anyway the new file is up on GumRoad, Sorry for the mess.
ok just found where it came from, it's a Free addon that comes with blender called "Modifier list" and i copied the function from there like an idiot..:/
* @belzar.sirus * Thank you for your hard work! I've tested them on Blender 2.9 and Blender 2.83.4 and it works great! Great time saver for hard-surface modelers. :)
* @DONG HOON KIM * Thank you for the help, without your comment i wouldn't know that it wasn't working, :)
