Yes, it is much better. Interestingly, I could not figure out what the
"dense" code did even though I saw the result. I only figured it out by
looking at the generated .csg. Apparently, a spiral polygon is created
and extruded in Z. In my code the approach is quite different, the
rectangle cross section is swept along a spiral path.

Yes I didn't bother extruding it 1mm because OpenScad shows it 1mm thick
anyway in preview and the subject was 2D shapes.
