Hey, this is my first tutorial, a heartline roll tutorial that has incredible flexibility. you can use it for inverted coasters, vertical twists, and any other variation of a heartline roll. It is accomplished by a simple guide that I used on Wildfire This tutorial isn't one that someone can just follow step by step, this tutorial is to show a simple yet effective guide.
Here is is:

First, start with the track before the roll:

Connect them like so:

Then make 4 of these:

Then connect them to the previous piece so that the angle of the track connectors changes 90 degrees every tan rod.

Next, connect the track like so:

Then put the track connectors on the outside of the roll like so:

Next, depending on the style of building or angle of roll, build the supports around it and then AFTER YOU PUT THE SUPPORTS ON AND MAKE THEM SECURE, take the guide off.

Maybe you could expand on this to make a custom corkscrew guide. Like one that could be resized.
