PSA!

After conducting extensive testing, I have determined that subjecting the loadcells to loads exceeding 500 grams is highly likely to cause permanent damage, resulting in unstable readings. It is highly probable that you will apply this excessive force to the load cell if you press down while tightening the base plate screws.

Consequently, my recommendation is to exclusively utilize hex head screws or any other non-cam-out screws. These screws can be tightened sufficiently without the need for excessive force.
