I wanted to measure adhesion to my glass bed, so I made this small force probe, to figure out the force required to push it over.
Calibrate it on a milligram scale (pressing it down onto the scale with x-carriage/z-axis. Each 0.1mm step will give you a fairly reproducible increase in the pressure exerted by the probe as long as you don't give it time to relax. I got +/- 10% on repeated measurements.
Use the printer axes (I used the X-carriage) to move the small distances to generate force and bend the scale. To avoid the probe softening with the heat from the bed or extruder I kept it covered with aluminium foil when not in use.
Pushing my tower at 55mm above the base I got readings of around 0.5-1N using sugar/water/detergent coating on my glass bed (but very wide SD, so further control of coating factors is required). I haven't formally measured ABS applied to glass with ABS juice (acetone with dissolved ABS), but adhesion with this seems more consistent even without any real
