Still working on how to do springs.

Nice
Getting non-perfectly parallel hinges rigged is 99% of the challenge and took me forever… springs were the easy part… you just use stretchy 1-chain IK bones… did a post on it here:

IK Limits (With springs)

Yes, I’m still on this rig… Took me a while to track this down after trying other bone-constraints like the stretch-to constraint which didn’t quite work for me… Instead I got the required results from stretchy 1-chain IK constraints pointing to fixed bones. [image] Setting the bone IK Stretch setting to 1 with a well-parented 1-chain IK constraint will perform the follow-and-stretch you would expect from a spring… (Eevee test render:) (Spring-bone targets ar…

Making the springs is easy with the screw Modifier.
@Jaco_Pretorius goes even better though with working ones. lol.

Key to note is moving the mesh relative to the origin point. Rest is eay to play with, axis etc.

Thanks a heap.
