*** UPDATE / V2 ***
Revisited the design, V2 is smaller, lighter... faster print (1h30m), less filament (13gr), more elegant, and also keeps the back springs tight and straight. Push the springs down the shaft and mount it under the bed. The flat part has to face up. Use a ziptie to fasten the cable to the strain relief. I must say, the result is also pretty rigid, much more than you would assume. Printed this with 3 walls (1.2mm) and 15% infill (grid).
I also added a design for the front spring caps, for the two front corners, so you can bring the bed down to the same height. You can also put the springs inside to keep leveling the bed with the bedscrews or bedlevel knobs, while keeping them straight. I also designed the bedlevel wingnut knobs, for those interested.
Kudos to JAWehrung who designed thing:1895223, it was what inspired me to make the strainrelief this way. Although i didn't remix his model.
PS: version 2.1 is a bit less tight inside around the spring than V2 (but o
