Hi there! We reached out to the designers and here is the response: We used a .25" bar stock (a pen or pencil would work too but having a long bar at least 18" is key to spreading things out.) then made a really long spring and cut it to fit. We just used a heat gun and took our time, it took a few attempts before we figured it out. The coil spacing was the key, make sure to keep the coils spread out a bit it seemed to work best.
Really good device, what size spring ? as it's not shown on thingiverse page. thanks.

Great job, do you have the print files available? I would like to make some for my dad.
