In @PavelBoytchev’s solution, the flat part on which you move always stays down. In @prisoner849’s solution, you rotate in the tube and the flat part is in different positions.

I have not yet found a solution for the rotation in my problem [Inaccurate adjustment when cylinder is deformed](https://discourse.threejs.org/t/inaccurate-adjustment-when-cylinder-is-deformed/50941). Must see if I can learn something from these solutions. 🤔
