      I can overcome this and cut the model to halves and make flips & join the "good" halves.
      I have 24S circle * 15 degrees = 360 deg. Perhaps I'm on a wrong way...
      The photo clarifies the question:

        Why are you using Follow and Rotate to make that shape? Native Follow Me would make it correctly.

          Here is the reason. It has to rotate:

            I see.

            Check to see what the angle is on that last section in your first screen shot. It doesn't look like 15°

            I can see a better way but I need to think about the numbers.

              The last section extrudes turning less. Overlapping etc. Well the plug-in is still very useful when I can cut and join the halves = solid object. This was (the last twisted torus) extruded from an involute gear. 12 tooth. A quite heavy task.
