And try making the springs to print!

Yes Mike, you are correct on those. I probably won't try to do the springs as I am only going to make a small run with a CNC lathe. Not sure how to do the slot though.

The "shakeproof" washers (ISLW) provided are also smaller and don't fit well.

True.

Yes. I probably won't do those simply because you would need a stamping machine and dies.
