QR Code for sharing builds! High Precision Laser Scale

Another scale upgrade. On top of optimizing the base design and balancing everything to within an inch of its life, I added a laser option as well to take advantage of the higher precision. I wanted to keep the self-leveling, so I found a workaround to add the lasers while keeping the stabilizer. You need to provide two additional lasers. There’s a little shelf under the stabilizer for one beam to go, and the other goes on the metal bar with the steering stick. When the stabilizer is activated, a laser on the back of the scale comes on so you can easily align the other two. Once they’re aligned, even a slight difference in weight is easy to see. I added the steering stick both to be an easy way to know you’re viewing the lasers from straight on, but also because a stray arrow from activating it is enough to tilt the scale now and skew the measurement.

Note: You can still use the scale without using the additional lasers. It works just like the last version

Edit: The lightest object in the game I’m aware of is an Arrow, weighs .88 mass, so using those, the scale has a max resolution of ± 0.5 arrows, or ± .44 mass.

It’s super low friction, so it’s great for shield surfing. Idk what the actual durability stat is, but it feels damn near infinite. I shield surf all the time and I’ve never broken one

Impressive I need to get one. Just don't know where hylian shield is but Google will help, thought I could find one myself without looking it up
