[Curious Scientist] tried building an integrated strain gauge on a PCB, but ran into problems. Mainly, the low resistance of the traces didn’t show enough change under strain to measure easily.

Strain gauges that change colour when stressed ... plants and even minerals that can produce colour without the use of dyes and pigments. Instead, they use intricate structures that have features ...

Here’s a neat trick for your next 3D-printer build or retrofit: a Z-axis sensor using a DIY strain gauge made from SMD resistors. We’re betting it could have plenty of other applications ...
