USB Microscope Mount With Zoom Knob - Fully 3d Printed

thingiverse

I wanted this mount for my usb microscope, but wanted a few extra tweaks and features. I also wanted it fully printable to save myself a trip in to town. The main parts of the unit are the same as Chrlee's Modular stand, but with enlarged screw holes to accommodate printed hardware. Big thanks to Chrlee for the original design. I used gwhiteside's Improved adapter to get some extra grip. Big thanks for that one, buddy! I also modified it with inspiration from doctek's Smooth Focus model, but again went the 100% printed route. I had to redesign the helical gear and mounting system for my microscope, but thanks are due here for the inspiration. Thank you doctek. There are multiple base units included, the original remixed base and the my new one that goes into a tripod. To make a full set, you will need: 4X - bolt.stl 4X - nut.stl 2X - arm ends.stl 1X - arm middle.stl 1X - tripod mount.stl or base mount.stl (depending on which base you want) 1X - microscope mount.stl or 1X focus mount.stl AND 1X focus knob.stl (depending if you want the knob or not) Happy Printing. **NOTE** My model of usb scope was a 50x-1600x cheap-o one off of ebay, so no guarantees of fitment, but we will all hope it works for everyone! 8-11-2021 Updated the bolt to sit close to flush with the knobs when assembled. 8-16-2021 Added 'nut fixed.stl' which has cleaner geometry than nut.stl, although both should work fine for printing. 8-21-2021 Added arca swiss compatible mount. 12-14-2021 Added slightly "beefier" version of the focus mount piece after reading about some breakage when printing in PLA
