Raspberry Pi Microscope (Remix of BraunsCNC's designs)

prusaprinters

<p>I really enjoyed this awesome design from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3920261">BraunsCNC</a> but I wanted to make some modifications.</p> <h3>Brass Inserts</h3> <p>I made the models for 3 mm brass inserts which allow for a nice look overall.</p> <p>I added some retention to the system to ensure that one of the mounts does not fall off and onto the stage.</p> <h3>Camera Mount Holder</h3> <p>The camera mount has been adjusted to fit a Raspberry Pi camera ver 2.1 and allows room for the component to fit well into the grooves. So far, I have not tested it with a NoIR camera since I don't have one but would be interested to hear feedback. Looking at the link provided, it seems like it would fit with my redesigned camera mount holder.</p> <h3>Raspberry Pi 4 Bracket</h3> <p>I added a bracket to allow you to either use a Raspberry Pi zero or a Raspberry Pi 4. I am still playing around with the bracket but it has worked so far on my testing. The bracket can be attached using ~ 6 mm screws. The "spacers" from BraunsCNC's original design are optional if using this bracket.</p> <h3>Base</h3> <p>The base (microscope stage) was modified to allow for a lip around the opening for the 12mm linear rod.</p> <h3> BOM</h3> <p>Print 1 of each item except the knob.<br/> Print 2 knobs.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Learning Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> I3 MK3S</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.20 mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 15%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> N/A PLA N/A<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>No supports needed, orient the models so they can be printed without supports.</p>
