Strain Gauge/Load Cell based Endstops

Prusa mentioned, in the live stream that one feature of their load cell is that the main supporting member is not the load cell flexure. So if there is a toolhead crash it wont cause the flexure to suffer permanent deformation before the rest of the part does. That’s a pretty good advantage of the design. No one wants to replace and expensive part because to a simple mistake.
