Recent updates for the miniature tensile testing machine

In this video I summarize the completed and upcoming modifications for the machine. As you could see it from the previous videos, there's a machine which is already working, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. One of the most important improvement is to replace the bearings of the previous machine and make a custom-made casing which encapsulates the shaft with the worm gears and the lead screws with the worm wheels. Also, there will be a better mount for the motor, integrated in the body of the machine. Since I don't need such a large range of motion for the crossheads (most of the materials I test break after ~3-5 mm elongation) , I can shorten the machine by a significant length.
