I designed the new springs to have more holding force than the existing Simpson. This will actually mean higher accelerations for me. Currently, I have to adjust the acceleration down to keep people from freaking out about the elbow flop problem. This change will lower the theoretically allowable acceleration but should raise the practical limit.
This is pretty close to constant string tension.

The whole print bed is covered without collisions. I have some slight modifications that should will make it a lot safer than the .5mm clearance I enjoy in the video.
Hopefully, this new sturdier Simpson will be less alive when it comes to calibration. If I can get away with it, I would like to avoid crazy calibration schemes.
