Re: how can i make a spiral in Onshape
One of the multiple ways:
Helix curve then use Edit curve to planarize and reapproximate (smooth)

there are multiple ways:
us a featurescript (by @Pascoe):

or create a helix on a cone. (and if you need a flat spiral, you can project it onto a plane)

Re: Export to 3mf does not export the NPT thread
You've used a cosmetic thread feature which only applies a decal to the face of the object. The custom features I'm aware of that do modeled threads don't support NPT thread geometry so what I do instead is download a McMaster Carr part that has the thread geometry I want to borrow, cut away anything that isn't relevant on that model and derive it into my part studio to use with a boolean feature.
