Simple thrust meter for measuring propeller efficiency and maximum thrust.

While the existing thrust meter here on thingyverse may be more stable and accurate than my design, they are large and therefore require much material and storage space later (which I don't have).

So I've thrown this 3 piece thrust meter together for quick prop comparison.

Like all of my designs it needs a low amount of filament (20g)
The base simply slides on this scale (use electrical tape if it is slightly loose):

You may want to print the motor mount with a more heat resistant material than PLA
Also, you may want to clamp the scale to the desk, Lol.
