This is a cutting-edge concept known as the Mechanical Kitchen Scale, featuring a streamlined design that consists solely of 3D-printed components. Despite some refinements still being in order, its underlying idea is refreshingly straightforward: As the main plate descends under load, it triggers the rotation and tightening of the thread, which in turn winds up a spring bearing an attached indicator. Check out the prototype's mechanical prowess in action via this informative video: http://youtu.be/EllfBJKImgU Here are some detailed instructions for bringing your Mechanical Kitchen Scale to life: The 3mm pins utilized in this project were fashioned from cut pieces of filament. To secure the indicator in place, it should be attached to the bottom of the spring using a strong adhesive. A pre-wound spring can be achieved by utilizing a printed hexagonal key for manual winding purposes. For optimal performance, ensure that the scissor mechanism is meticulously filed to move with utmost smoothness.
