First ever tensile test on a real specimen with the new machine

I made a new version of the tensile testing machine which is much more reliable and much more stable mechanically. It has a thick steel base plate, stronger bearings, and better design overall. However, some parts are still under development. I need to get some spacers machined specifically for this machine.

Nevertheless, I made a tensile test today and tested a stainless steel material. The original parallel length of the specimen is 5 mm, and the scale (original length) is roughly 7 mm. The video is 10x fast forwarded, the original recording is about 9 minutes long. The sample broke around experiencing 4 kN.
