Open-source mirror holder
thingiverse
A mirror holder, designed for optical experiments, forms part of Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology Research Group's open-source optics initiative aimed at cutting down the costs of scientific optical tools. It can be customized using OpenSCAD files and 3D printed on an open-source printer. The holder comprises three components: a metal rod, a plastic base, and a commercial mirror mount from Thor Labs (an open-source version will be developed later). This mount is designed to hold mirrors on a smooth 8mm diameter rod. Additional details can be found at Appropedia and Thingiverse, while credits go to Xin and Nick for their designs. The component is part of the Open-Source Optics Library by Zhang C, Anzalone NC, Faria RP, and Pearce JM. This project contributes to reducing scientific equipment costs using open-source hardware.
