Hi, i need help figuring out how to make my tapered helix/spiral go “straight” all the way down instead of blending into the object im sweeping said helix around. i have it all set up at the start but once i get to the end of it, its in a completely different spot than the start.

The first two images show what’s happening, then the rest are all different views and what its actually affecting in my project.

Thanks
