Safe Storage for Counting Chambers - tested (Fuchs-Rosenthal, Neubauer hemocytometers, etc)

thingiverse

Counting chambers are often pricey and prone to scratches over time. This solution aims to alleviate that issue. It holds eight hemocytometers. Two Variations: In the first version, I experimented with rounding edges using a 1 mm sphere via the Minkowski sum. Please refer to the SCAD file, but be aware of lengthy render times when employing the $fn function. This version must be scaled up during slicing (i.e., 110%); all walls will become wider as a result. The second version omits the Minkowski sum altogether; however, rendering at $fn=180 works seamlessly with this iteration. You can either print it yourself or order from my Shapeways store. Currently, I have only added the second version to the shop.
