Creality K1 MAX spring tension plate with TPU pads

Update 2025-05-25 : Added no logo version.

Relieves unnecessary spring pressure from the bearing.

Improves resonance graph on the X axis.

Simple drop-in mod with no permanent changes.

Change thickness of the TPU pads until you get best results.

I printed the plate in ABS positioned top chamfer on the build plate with supports. 
0.2 layer height
4 walls

It worked well for me, but it might not work the same for everyone. The good part is, it's easy to test and simple to revert back if needed. Just make sure to wipe the rods with isopropyl alcohol before calibration, and give it a minute to fully dry. When the rods weren’t cleaned, I was getting around 17% vibration. Once cleaned, it dropped to just ~1%.

I tested several plates with different spring hole depths, and in the end, I kept the holes at 3.8mm. From there, I only changed the TPU pads until the tension felt right. The best results for me came with 0.8mm TPU pads.
