Strain Gage

prusaprinters

<p>A quick &amp; dirty device to get a reading on how much force it takes to pull filament through the Prusa MMU2. It is not linear, but will allow you to compare the drag in a quantitative manner. Take a reading using the pointer and the "teeth"<br/> Shown with a 16 ounce weight suspended. You will need a wire/string to attach the alligator clip/clamp to grab onto the filament.<br/> You could also use it to find out how much "pull" your Bondtech gears have before slipping.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printer Accessories Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> i3 MK2.5</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> .2mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 15-20%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> IC3D PLA gray<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>3 perimeters 6 top/bottom</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>Designed in Fusion 360</p>
