A 3D-printed scale for your kitchen counter

Arduino TeamSeptember 25th, 2019

Do you need a small weight scale? You can of course buy one, or you could instead make your own 3D-printed device with a load cell and an Arduino, as shown in the below video by MN Maker.

In his setup, the load cell first sends readings to an HX711 breakout board, which converts this analog signal into a digital output that the Nano can easily interpret. The output is displayed on a 0.96” 128×64 OLED, with a button on the back to switch power on and off, and another to tare the scale to zero.

Code for the project is available here, while print files can be found on Thingiverse.
