Amscope Microscope VESA Monitor Clamp

prusaprinters

<p>This VESA mount holds a lightweight 11" monitor onto the microscope rather than taking up valuable desk space. The 3D printed collar slips over the microscope's vertical pipe. An alternate solution is a VESA pipe clamp but these tend to slip down if too loose or can't spin freely if too tight. The collar lets the LCD monitor spin freely without slipping down.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The VESA collar needs to be printed with supports on the bed only. There's a ledge inside so half the collar sits on the pipe and half sits above the pipe. This gives the monitor a little extra height. The ledge has a 45 degree overhang and most printers will handle this OK. If the collar is too loose just wrap some electrical tape around the pipe. It should be a flush fit but not a press fit. The collar should spin freely without binding.</p> <p>The VESA mount itself is nothing special. Mounting holes at 75mm and 50mm. The holes are a snug 4mm so the VESA bolts won't come loose.</p> <p>Join the VESA mount and VESA collar together using a 20mm bolt, washers and hex nut. A friction fit keeps the monitor at any angle.</p>
