material testing machine

DIY material testing machine

Inspired by some profesional tesing videos like ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpGhqQvftAo ) I was thinking it should be possible to create something simmilar for testing 3D printed material.

I have a very simple goal, mainly interested in relative strength between multiple test pieces. Like to be able to answer f.e. which print temperature gives the best connection between layers.
