alt Hacker NewsNeat. Perhaps one can use it to see PLA creep in real time.
(not a joke, I'd actually like to see that)

Oh absolutely!
I would not actually use this for uhhh, repeatable measurements over any extended period of time!
(If that were the case, I'd recommend re-printing it in a slightly more stable material, or just CNC milling the mounts out of aluminum using some of the ~$1-2K aluminum desktop mills and using some aluminum extrusions as the base.)

Not creep, but thermal expansion is definitely noticeable with interferometry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vupIq4epCQA
