Hello  
To your question, this object can not be made.  
I have tried to make a simple spring with a straight line has gone perfect, when trying with a closed circle Shapr3D can not perform this type of actions at the moment. 😉

the only option of how to do it would be to create a spring as shown in the image, once it was done it would be duplicated and rotated using a circle.

David,

I appreciate your best idea to my question!  
I finally figured it out how to close the circle perfectly!  
See attached images, the key step is to set a rotate angle of the transform which can be divided by 360 degrees, such as 10 degrees with 36 revolved bodies.

Thanks again for your excellent answer!  
Regards  
Charles
