USB scope mount

thingiverse

I use the Andonstar Digital Microscope for many things and found myself tipping the stand to get it to focus on things that didn't fit. (default use is always straight down) I finally whipped together a very simple mount so I can pivot the scope. Printed in PETG and was able to focus/complete the project I was working on. I drilled and tapped the carriage of the microscope with 5mm holes and used a 4mm bolt to tighten around the scope barrel. I just pivot the scope around the 5mm bolt. With magnification, you see any slight bounce in the camera position. Improvements to this design: Increase the size to improve screen clearance from the post. Rigidity should be improved to reduce oscillation when you touch the camera. A better pivot using a socket and ball would be nice for better control of the angles. Design in a captured nut or insert.
