Wide mount / holder for DM4 microscope

thingiverse

Prints needed: one DM4 holder, two DM4 holder sides. Parts required: - Two 50cm (or a suitable width of your choice) M8 threaded rods - I purchased a 1-meter rod that I cut in half (though this necessitates some metalworking skills). - Eight nyloc M8 nuts and spacers (technically, both being nyloc and the spacers are optional). - Optionally four M8 nuts to secure the middle part. (Plus possibly a few M8 nuts to hold the threaded rod steady when turning the nylocs into place.) I also recommend cutting square felt pads (or similar materials) for the "legs". The DM4 holder part has a hole that needs to be tapped for an M4 screw to securely hold the scope, but it ended up being a snug fit without one, so that feature remains untested and unused in my prototype. Much of the code can be improved, but this was the first prototype and everything worked well enough, so I'm posting it as-is. (WIP tag is there to indicate poor code quality, but I'm unlikely to make significant changes to the actual parts.)
