I increased the pitch on the threads between the shell and plug. The coarser version is deeper, so they should provide good traction and still be highly positionable. I added a viewing window into the side so I could see inside when I install a spinner. I started changing the spring dimensions to make the rounded portions thin while leaving the straight sections untouched, which was a simple change and produced springs that looked like limbs and joints. I decided to update the springs by making all the material thinner, which reduced how far it stuck out and should allow for a short device overall.
