BOM (bill of materials):

Filament of your choice, I used Bambu Lab PLA.
Spring from Paper Mate ComfortMate retractable pen.
Link for single pen from AdvantageWritingSupplies.com.
Link for 12 pack of pens from Amazon.com
(Other pen springs may work but are not as consistent and may pop out of place. If you do use a different spring it needs to have about a 4.25mm outer diameter and cut to 14.5-16.5mm long. Again this may or may not work depending on how you cut it.)

Cool little toy and works really well. It does come apart internally somewhat easy but I think that's due to the spring not staying in place which is probably my fault

Glad you like it :) Not sure if you only tried it without the top cover on as pictured. It needs the top cover to be held together.

I did try it with the cover and noticed it made the face pieced buckle a bit and I still had the same issue with it not working after so long cool modem regardless though

@GCdesign3D

i've tried to print it 2 times, printer is calibrated, not working, spring always go out

I have done some more testing since posting with different springs. It is very hard to cut the springs down perfectly and I found that the springs were popping out more often when I cut them to 16.5mm so I shortened to 14.5 and had more success. That said I have changed the documentation to recommend the Paper Mate ComfortMate Retractable pen springs as I know that those work very consistently with non issues for me.

Replying to @PrintMint :

I got it work! It's so cool! I had to add a little grease between the lever and the piece below it to make it slide a little more easily. I only have a textured plate, so the mating surfaces were rough.
