Cheap and Quick Parallel Springs 3D Printed

[jjr2001]

Great tip Toolmaker51, the strapping material made of steel is certainly worth saving.

Here are a few more of my older springs that I use on the mill.

First picture is of course just--- well---- Springs! They work good, just don't let them spring off into the shop!!
Next are some I made from an old quill return spring that I removed from my small mill that I did not need.
Last is the one I made from an extra long feeler gage of .012". Just bend them around a piece of round bar.

Cheers, JR
