Bed leveling compression springs for sale (maybe) - Specs below

OD (in) 0.210 5.334mm
ID (in) 0.158 4.0132mm
Free Length (in) 0.880 22.352mm

Need to buy a bunch from the manufacturer(at $6.05 each), so I would be selling the surplus, a pack of 4 for $25. I tested the spring rate of the ballpoint pen I was using and it registered 1.955bs/in, so at 8.9lbs/in, these springs don't need to be compressed before providing some resistance. I need to upgrade since I added a glass plate and it proved too heavy for the weak pen spring. The manufacturer requires a min of $50, so I can't just buy the four I need. I need to get 9 to get over the $50. I figure I keep 5 (one spare) and sell the other 4. Let me know if someone is interested and I'll place the order with the manufacturer. Until then, no glass plate for me.

Since I really want to get back to printing, I bought some springs from McMaster. Thread closed.
