Load Cell Holder

prusaprinters

<p>This is (yet another) holder for the 50kg load cells commonly available.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10245">https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10245</a></p> <p>The recess in the holder has been sized for a press-to-fit install of the load cell. Just snap it into place.</p> <p>The internal space of the holder allows the inner plate to flex downwards with load: this is what you want, as it allows the strain gauges to work correctly.</p> <p>You'll typically use 4 load cells to build a weight scale, along with some sort of differential amplifier and A/D conversion (E.g. HX711 chip).</p> <p>The design is parameteric - and I've included the source if you wish to modify it.</p> <p>Note: This is not OpenSCAD. It's a program written in Go.
