X52 Pro Spring Plate

thingiverse

The Saitek X52 Pro comes equipped with an additional inner spring. With its original X52 spring plate, the stick became overly stiff due to the internal spring reaching its solid length, thus limiting the range of motion. To address this issue, I increased the inner diameter to accommodate the inner spring and added an entry chamfer so the inner spring wouldn't get caught on the lip. This modification ensures that only the outer spring is compressed, increasing stiffness slightly. Install the X52 Pro stick with lettering facing upwards; it will snap into place seamlessly.
