Very interesting experiment! I notice your testing results with the test block show a continual progression in the position of the indicator. Did you sort the five results in order, or did it just happen that way? If the latter, I wonder if there is some actual material property you are measuring, such as layer adhesion and/or extruded linewidth becomes progressively larger (or smaller) with time as you continue printing.

Just an observation (i am no physicist) your indicator is on the power side of the kit - so it is swinging itself with the mechanism - rather than being pushed up the other side. so won't there be a 'shock' effect when the pendulum slows down and the measure itself decelerates depending on the strike - so having an influence on the measurement.
But could it also just reflect that your samples have different characteristics - after all they are printed?
