why not hang a counterbalance weight from a pulley or a spring or elastic cord to take the weight onto the top plate.
seems the logical thing to do.

Remove the M84 from the ending code (or M18)

Makes perfect sense... The magnets in the hard drive cause eddy currents in the aluminum tower, and it stabilizes it like a shock absorber. Just like the needle on a triple beam balance scale. Genius :)

Behold, the SCIENCE Tube.

(One of the lab techs on campus has a few of those magnets, and whenever there's tubing they fit in, he drops them through to show people. They spend the rest of the time stuck on various machine surfaces, although not any of the CRT's anymore (They can do some funky stuff))
Machines:
Rostock Max V2, Duet .8.5, PT100 enabled E3D V6 and volcano, Raymond style enclosure
Automation Technology 60W laser cutter/engraver
1m X-carve router
