Rapid-Tome

The Rapid-Tome is a hand-held microtome for sectioning high aspect ration fresh tissue samples like plant stems and roots. This tool is part of an open source publication in BMC Plant Methods. The paper can be found here: https://plantmethods.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13007-023-00986-3 This version here on Thingiverse is an updated and improved version after feedback from users. Original files are available in the paper. UPDATE: I have redesigned the handle to incorporate a 3D printed advancement screw in the file "Rapid-Tome Version 2 Handle and Printed Advancement Screw." This handle is compatible with the current slider and stage models. Assembly and printing instructions can be found in additional files 1 and 3 at the end of the paper.
With this file you will be able to print Rapid-Tome with your 3D printer. Click on the button and save the file on your computer to work, edit or customize your design. You can also find more 3D designs for printers on Rapid-Tome.
