Rudimentary phone / microscope ocular adapter (31-34mm OD)

prusaprinters

<p>A rudimentary smartphone mount for a micro/stereoscope. The clamp is designed for an ocular with an outer diameter of 31-34mm. After seeing several microscope smartphone mounts I simply wanted to try without commitment (that is, least amount of plastic involved ;))</p> <p>You'll also need:</p> <ul> <li>Two M4 or 1/8" screws for the smartphone clamp (anything that reaches, really!)</li> <li>Possibly one or two M3 or 3/32" screws for the ocular clamp (but just if too loose: mine doesn't need any)</li> </ul> <p>Print it rough and print it fast: this one was printed at 0.3mm layers, 2 perimeters only, 10% grid infill and 3 top/bottom layers. It's truly bare-bone: adjustment is a bit cumbersome and could be better in several ways, but it worked on any phone we threw at it (with either central or top-left side camera).</p> <p>Stability is pretty decent too despite the long lever arm: I didn't need to set any delay to take decent photos.</p> <p>If you want something more fancy there are better designs available.</p> <p>Consider this as an appetizer :)</p> Category: Learning
