The spring I used is a 23/64" x 1-3/8" (9mm x 35mm) compression spring found in a Sontax 200 Piece Spring Assortment. It is printed laying on a 45° angle with one long edge facing the buildplate and pause at layer height should be set in your slicer to stop the print after the internal pegs have printed but before the opening closes too tightly to insert the spring. This is print-in-place, so the spring is inserted during the print, just be sure its high enough that the nozzle won't contact the spring when it resumes. Also, I used a raft, because of the small surface contact with the build plate and the likelih
