This is how a #brompton EZ clamp spring looks like after a decent few months of usage.
As you can see, it's quite compressed now and, as a result, not springy enough to hold the clamp up properly anymore.
That lifespan is not bad by any means (easy enough to re-print) but does that happen to y'all too or is it just me?
It's also just the handlebar one; the other is holding up fine.
I remember seeing a variant of this which had an actual metal spring inside; I might look into that.
They're recommending dipping the spring into boiling water for a bit to restore springiness: https://ezclamp.co.uk/how-to/
