Microscope adaptor

thingiverse

I recently got this microscope for SMD work, from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08G4Y6C65/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_6?smid=A3W0XEMPCW755Z&psc=1 Although the reduction in eye strain was massive, There were a couple of little niggles, The first is the magnification is quite high, which means that there is only a small area viewable. The Z range is a bit poor, in that respect. And, especially for soldering, the centre view area is quite far back, which is a little difficult for larger PCB's My first solution was a simple collet, which raised the microscope, which gives a real improvement. Second version extends out, from the existing mount, and also raise the microscope. Actually really suppressed how stable version 2 is... Enjoy.
