On a small low cost CNC router, you could use a long door spring,

attach the rest wires to the outside of the spring, here is a...

I have a small gantry style CNC Router, 12" x 17" cutting area, made from
MDF and Lexan, using small stepper motors coupled to all-thread with
rubber hose, I like using the rubber hose, because...

I used a digital fishing weight scale and used it to pull on the X, Y and Z
rails.

X and Y rails took about 6 to 8 pounds of force just to start moving, the
Z rail took 25 to 30 pounds of...

it, t-nuts, hinges, anchors, bolts, and all the...

I had no idea were to start with CNC, so I went with a kit from
Bluumax CNC, basically all had to do was bolt stuff together and
do some wiring, a kit helps a lot, but it still took a few...

on at least one page it said to match the "Peak Torque", and...

it on, and rewire all the motors / limit...

Thanks for posting your design I was in the same boat, I needed
something like the dust cyclone, I combined your idea and one or two
more designs and added my own modifications and it came out...

I needed something easy and simple, also cheap or free,
there are three I like.

CadStd - has a Pro and Free version, the pro is low cost.

DeltaCad - also low cost.
