Just with a few extra tweaks:

Got the curve right for the fold in the metal, so it sits nice and flush.


Added a little dimple for the bottom of where the bolt goes through, which sits in the same hole the bolt goes through, to keep it more stable.


Added curvature to all areas that were previously structural but had sharp stress points, so it won't break easily even if you have to widen the hole up.


Did slightly widen the bolt hole, so it won't be too much effort to push through, and tightened up the spring recess, for more stability.

Increased height a little, sacrificing about 2mm of drop, for the extra stability gained from the height. I did originally try it taller, which was better in some ways, but it was also borderline maxed out due to the nuts under the plate, and I wanted it to be more universally friendly for everyone.
If there's a demand for it, I'll put out the taller version, too.
Best printed one at a time, but you will need 4 of them.
Put the springs and bolts in the corners of the bed through them, as in the pictures, and they shall hold the bed steady.
Recommend printing with good and fresh filament, as the last little bits on the top, which become the bottom, must recess into the bolt holes, and must come out without any side-spillage in this part of the print, else they won't sit flush and there will still be some minor wobble on the bed.
