Modification / upgrade of the collar and tension bolt to prevent it from moving after set to its desired height. After making this I've seen other modifications / versions that use a vertical screw for infinite variability, but less repeatability / reproducibility. I would look at both options and see which one you might prefer.
I used measurements from the original model to model my own collar, so it will not be 100% identical, particularly the sloped ramps were difficult to recreate, but seems to function just fine with all other original parts. After recreating the CAD model I added notches to the collar to prevent the bolt and nut from moving after it is set. Then made a new tension retaining clip with corresponding notches.
I recommend using a lock nut with the retaining clip bolt if you are not doing so already. I use a washer on the bolt face as well, as I was worried about over stressing the clip.
I recommend using the 3MF with the settings provided:
0.4mm nozzle
0.1mm layer lines (will help with printing the notches in the collar and retaining clip
Iron all top surfaces where the needles will slide (height layer modifications set in file)
Cylinder modifiers around the 8mm shaft holes set to outside inside for better accuracy / fit
