This is a parametric OpenSCAD script for generating two-dimensional springs. This is the same basic idea that many of the wobble arrestors and snap-in parts use: long, thin plastic segments that are designed to flex a bit. I just generalized the concept a bit.
These springs seem relatively sturdy, and they can be used along the XY plane, or (less ideally) along the Z axis.
You can make the springs stiffer and stronger by making them thicker (taller). Adjust the spring constant by changing
