Motorized Microscope Frame

thingiverse

Hi, I just received a microscope as a gift. It weighs 2kg, making it quite difficult to hold steady in my hands. I used some old aluminum extrusions from my 3D printers (20 x 20 t-slot and 28 x 28 from Velleman's 3D printer), a Nema 17 motor from an old printer, and a stepper driver. Everything is connected to the AVR brain. Parts to print: 2 x Bracket2020 4 x Bracket2028 4 x Bracket2828 1 x MicroscopeBasket 1 x MicroscopeBasketCover 1 x Motor1 & Motor2 1 x RailBearing1 & RailBearing2 & RailBearing3 1 x Mirror from parts above (RailBearing1-3) 2 x RailMount 2 x Mirror from part RailMount 1 x LightRing 1 x LensCover 1 x CaseBottom & CaseTop 4 x CaseCover & CaseButton 1 x ZAxisBearing 1 x PSU Other parts: Some electronic components, including a 12v power supply, an ATmega328p microcontroller, a 20 x 4 character LCD display, 5mm white bright LEDs, resistors, transistors, Pololu stepper drivers, and cables.
