My rule of thumb with is to have a 1.5 mm gap when I pull each core from center piece if I want lowest tension without many pops or lockups. If the springs are too strong and pieces do not have enough silicone, there is a bit too much friction if I go down to 1 mm. My puzzleproz.com cubes do not pop as easily as my rubiks.com cubes, at about the same tension.
As said before, rubiks.com apparently used to sell good DIYs which did not pop or lock up much. I hope someone here lets us know when Rubiks comes back with good DIYs again.
