First prototype for the gas bottle scale

Second step of the gas bottle project: getting the parts together into something I can actually test.

Up to now it was loose components on the bench. Building a prototype forces me to decide how everything sits and connects before I worry about accuracy.

From here I can finally put weight on it and see whether the idea holds up.
