Spring Things

Originally, I was trying to whip up something fast with these simplified springs that can easily be 3D printed. Now, I've ended up making even more of these little parts. They snap together seamlessly, no extra fuss required. Check out the gallery with animated GIFs here: http://imgur.com/a/Q0FV1 You won't need any additional support structures - just print 'em out! My pieces are printed in ABS at 0.2 layer height with rafts. I'm curious to see how PLA performs, considering its lower flexibility and potential variances in tolerance between printers, given their tiny size. Print the testbed.stl file to gauge compatibility for yourself. Initially, I included only a set designed specifically for the Dude - but you can give feedback on anything printed out without disturbing Fido: http://i.imgur.com/x7btZJy.gif
