Amscope SE400-Z Led Ring holder (for model with gooseneck light)

thingiverse

First off, this idea isn't mine - I got it from JoeyFitzp, who's shared it on Thingiverse. You can find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2502570. This model is designed for 60mm and up inner diameter LED ring lights, which you can purchase at Amazon by searching for "microscope LED ring light." I'm still waiting to get my hands on a 3D printer, but I needed a decent LED light holder for my Amscope SE400Z microscope. The original base wasn't doing it for me, and I was using a DIY movable boom stand instead. Plus, I didn't have the gooseneck and base from the original LED light, so I required another light source. I sent JoeyFitzp's model to a 3D printing service, but when it came back, it didn't fit on my Amscope SE400-Z microscope. The 1x objective side was larger on my version, and two pieces where optics are on the 1x side were thicker. Since I used to work with CAD (not 3D) in the past, I decided to make my own version of it. I created a new 3D model, sent it to the printing service, and now it fits perfectly on my microscope. I made some minor changes to the model for this attempt. At first, I didn't think about segments on circles and so on, which is why you see the first attempt in one of the pictures. After updating the pictures, I finally got my own 3D printer up and running. For more information, check out all my pictures for measurements and Amscope models.
