Simple semiconductor sample holder v3

thingiverse

The revamped sample holder caters specifically for semiconductor wafer parts mounted on a smooth 8mm rod, making it easy to swap samples with tweezers and one hand. It's an improvement over its predecessor, as it uses less plastic than version 2 and features a cutout for short samples. The Open Sustainability Technology Research Group at Michigan Tech is part of the open-source optics project that aims to lower scientific optical hardware costs. For similar projects, visit the Open-Source Lab website on building your own hardware and reducing research expenses. Print this holder on any 3D printer and fasten it with m3 screws and thumbscrew from Thingiverse's link. The base can be found at another Thingiverse link. The full information is available, thanks to Chenlong for the designs in 3D Studio Max. This sample holder falls under the Open-source Optics Library by Zhang C, Anzalone NC, Faria RP, and Pearce JM (2013). It's part of a larger project to reduce scientific equipment costs using open-source hardware, with more information available on the project's website.
