Kinematic Mount for Optics Experiments
thingiverse
A precision mount (PM) is a mechanical component used to adjust accurately the tip and tilt of a mirror or lens, while it securely holds the component in place. The design presented here is based on Doug Marret's work found on http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1004337. The mount is implemented by printing two plastic pieces (files PrecisionMount_top and PrecisionMount_bottom) that are joined together using a sphere and two springs secured with metal rods on each side. The drive screw mechanism is built using embedded nuts in the plastic. Two M4 screws with rounded nuts at one end are used to adjust tip and tilt respectively. Rounded nuts keep the pieces in position, reducing unwanted motion. For additional information go to http://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.09563.pdf List of materials: 1. Steel sphere 8 mm diameter 2. Hex nut M4 (4) 3. Rounded nut M4 (2) 4. Screw M4, 4cm long (2) 5. Tension spring, 1 cm long (2) 6. Metal rod, 1 cm long (4) Print Settings: Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Tairona Rafts: Yes Supports: No
