Zeiss Axiovert 200 insert to hold generic well plate

thingiverse

This is a holder designed for a typical well plate that fits perfectly on a Zeiss Axiovert 200M microscope stage. Although it might not get downloaded often, I still shared it because I needed it and thought others could benefit from it as well. I crafted my own supports to reinforce the overhanging lip, giving the entire assembly more stability. To enhance customizability, I included the .scad file so that users can make any necessary tweaks. Instructions: Due to technical difficulties, I couldn't get Cura to generate support for the overhanging lip. As a result, I took matters into my own hands and built a personalized support structure. If you experience similar issues with Cura not generating G-code for your supports, try using Slic3r instead - it worked like a charm for me! To use this holder: 1. Print the design. 2. Remove the unnecessary support material. The small holes along the edges of the holder can be used to secure set screws that help level the insert properly. Simply tap the M3x0.5-sized screw holes with the required tapping size for your specific application.
