So i have a disk to make for my dad. He wants to buy a 3d printer and i need to make this shape. I have looked every where over the internet and couldn't find a tutorial to make a shape like this one. Can anyone help me?

4this is like a cylinder, you need to scale its edges so that it gets thiner towards the bottom, what difficulty have you met? – moonboots Apr 29 '21 at 13:17

yeah, show us what you tried so far. This is not a "we do all the work for you"-platform, but a "we help you with what you made so far"-platform. – Chris Apr 29 '21 at 14:10

Sorry I haven't been on the pc for a few days. I was thinking i could make a cylinder to make the base and the make an uv sphere, then i used the boolean modifier but it didn't look like the picture from above – Alexandru Becheanu May 03 '21 at 18:17

Welcome on the forums, to get you started...
I used a modifier to spiral a curve line
next added a modifier to make it solid
next added 4 cylinders by mirroring one.
next i did a boolean operation to subtract the 4 cylinders.
for visibility i altered the 4 cylinders so you see them as wire frame.
Note you can change this file, the modifiers, or in edit mode change the curve or the cylinders.

its probaply because of the settings I used to have more in betweens than the default for the spiral.modifier – Peter May 03 '21 at 21:10
