USB Microscope Stand (Ø30mm)

cults3d

A quick, printable stand to replace the original Plugable flexible stand. This one is based on a simple rack and pinion I will be designing a better iteration in the near future. The microscope is clamped with a 1/4"-20 and the parts should all fit snugly together. There is a provision for a set screw on the rear of the clamp if you wish. To assemble, place the clamp over the stand shaft, insert the spur gear, then the axle. I tapped the axle for a #8-32 screw to provide better control over the microscope's travel.
