This was created on request from photos. The slot part was eyeballed due to lack of accurate dimensions. Let me know if it needs adjustment, but I guess the exact shape won't be too crucial. Same for the thickness, I made a wet-finger guess. Original description from the request (http://www.thingiverse.com/groups/things-with-actual-uses/topic:13023) in the Things With Actual Uses group: There's a loyal following of people who use the older style Maytag washing machine. The parts are cheap and readily available and the machine is a workhorse. Repairs are easy save for one item -- The tool used to remove the balancing springs is no longer readily available. I don't believe it's manufactured anymore. So you see a lot of videos on you tube from people who have rigged up many different ways to remove those springs. The best way is to stuff about $3 worth of nickles into the springs so they can be removed and put back without damaging the washing machine. It's a slow and laborious process. The tool makes it easy. Would anyone be interested in creating a design for the tool? It only has two parts and there's a picture of it below. The tool is resting on a 1 inch x 1 inch grid. http://repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Spring-Removal-Tool/22002922/455570 http://repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Large-Part-Image?imgID=860805&locID=2861 It would be great if all of those videos of people stuffing nickels could be replaced with a link to thingiverse to print a spring removal tool.
