3D model description

I wanted this mount for my usb microscope, but wanted a few extra tweaks and features. I also wanted it fully printable to save myself a trip to town.

The main parts of the unit are the same as Chrlee's Modular stand, but with enlarged screw holes to accommodate printed hardware. Big thanks to Chrlee for the original design.

I used gwhiteside's Improved adapter to get some extra grip. Big thanks for that one, buddy!

I also modified it with inspiration from doctek's Smooth Focus model, but again went the 100% printed route. I had to redesign the helical gear and mounting system, but thanks are due here for the inspiration. Thanks doctek.

There are multiple base units included, the original base and the other that goes into a tripod.

To make a full set, you will need:
4X - bolt.stl
4X - nut.stl
2X - arm ends.stl
1X - arm middle.stl
1X - tripod mount.stl or base mount.stl (depending on which base you want)
1X - microscope mount.stl or 1X focus mount.stl AND 1X focus knob.stl (depending if you want the knob or not)

Happy Printing.
