I found several knob modifications that were something like this, then I also found some spring cups for maintaining the position of the springs better.

This modification is a sort of combination of the 2 ideas, giving you locking knobs that also keep the springs positioned well. All pieces slip pretty easily into place over the stock knobs that come with the latest Ender 3.

The knobs make a satisfying clicking sound as you adjust them, with teeth positioned every 12 degrees, so you could figure out exactly how much each click raises or lowers the bed if you wanted to.

Printing orientation:
-Generally, it is best to print these parts with the teeth facing upwards.

-However, for the part that slides over the plate, you may want to rotate it so the teeth face sideways to minimize support.

** Note: there is a unique piece on the corner where the bed wire guide mounts.

I've added a mashup of the lockingPlate with a bed wire "strain relief" bent 90 degrees down
