Cable Guide for Amscope Microscope

thingiverse

Wiring for LED lights and triscope camera is a challenge on the Amscope microscope, but managing it gets easier with these cable guides to prevent cables from getting caught in movement. Combine this with a spiral wrap or textile sleeve for added protection. The first piece, "cable guide", fits to the front of the scope. Print flat on the bed with support everywhere. Sandpaper the plug piece until it can be inserted under moderate pressure from fingertips. Use hex holes for zip ties. The second piece, "rear guide", comes in two parts. Print the first part, "rear guide clip", with support everywhere. Print the second part, "rear guide seat", without support. Then push fit them together. Glue is not required; it slips over the pipe and clips onto the body. Now feed cables through both guides and hold down with zip ties. The scope's arm can extend and retract without fouling the cables.
