Befenybay 10PCS 10Mm OD 25Mm Long Yellow Light Load Compression Mould Die Spring (Yellow-10-25) Review

In my Ender 3 I used a glass construction plate with the typical "yellow" springs. And they seemed too "light" for my use. So I replaced them with these slightly heavier springs. So far I am very satisfied with the results. The bed appears to be more stable and does not drift as much between consecutive probes. Besides the springs I also changed the screws to M4 x 40mm. Standard bolt 35 mm. You can find them here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WCTJRHF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?i…

I used to use light yellow springs and they worked well with my Ender 3's flexible magnetic base, but when I replaced them with glass springs the yellow springs couldn't hold tension on the dials and were tight, which is why meant that the bed had to be adjusted more frequently. So I decided to try the red springs and am very happy with the amount of tension they provide for the glass bed. They are easy to adjust and stay where I set them, allowing for less bed alignment.

These springs appear to be good quality at first glance, but they are VERY stiff for manual bed leveling or projects that require a larger compression range. To level the bed, it is usually necessary to compress the springs as much as possible, set the Z axis to its original position, then go to each corner of the bed and loosen the springs so that they almost touch the nozzle . This means that with a higher compression range (i.e. lower coil resistance) you can fine-tune your settings. They…
