How to make a linear spring with 3D printing that neither wears out over time or fails due to material limitations. I tried to overcome those challenges with this design, and it also just happens to be a somewhat useful device. Probably most valuable as a learning tool to better understand compliant mechanisms and creative ways to channel flexible force.

Watch the video if you can't figure out how to assemble it.
