Modelled it.
I started by getting the dimensions of the marble i wanted to use. It has a diameter of 1.5 cm, so i drew a circle in shapr3d. i drew a box around it, acting as the base. in the center, right next to the marble, i drew another circle the diameter of my rod. then, i put a v-shape, which will be the corner that my ball will use to go up with the archimedes screw spins. after that, i just copied the main bottom base, and then used that as my top base. after some fillets and smoothening out the edges, i was done. i later found out that there was some problem with the file, and i think it got corrupted, so i had to do it again, but it worked out in the end.

Started thinking of what it will look like
I looked at exactly the dimensions of the thing, and so it actually works in real life, I was thinking on how big the pole and the base and thread have to be in order to actually function, since i'm trying to use the archimedes screw to raise a marble.
