Description

Use one paperclip as a hanger and several identical paperclips as weights, chain multiple clips to get double and triple weight units.

I always got unbalanced prints so I created a small clip-on weight to fix this (while there are no weights attached).

To balance the scale, make sure the number of paperclips multiplied by their distance from the center is the same on each side. Example: Two paperclips in the 6th hole to the left = 12 = one paperclip in the 4th position plus one in the 8th position.

When printing, try to add a color change for the top half mm.

Inspired by https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/30450-moment-scale-v2/files and by not having a large enough print bed. :)
