Does anyone know that this is?
Hi all,
I got this in a "bundle" and have no idea what this is. Maybe some epi illumination device ?

Re: Capacitor inside an olympus BHB microscope
I think I will just put a modern 0.1uF X safety capacitor in there and see if the magic smoke arises or not.

Olympus BH sample stage woes
Hi all, I mentioned this issue yesterday in another thread but thought if it had its own thread. I am having some issues with a BH sample stage and was wondering if someone has an idea. I couldn't find anything in the BH manual that mentioned a solution to this issue. The Y axis (the big knob), when...

Re: LED lighting....why the hate?
99% sure I damaged my left eye using a led source that turned out to have high uv.. the only reason i didn't damage both is my right eye was all fogged up with blood from a internal blood leak. I was right eye blind for about 6 months.. now the right is better but the left still has a greyed out ar...

Capacitor inside an olympus BHB microscope
Hi All, Does anyone know where I can find a replacement capacitor for this little guy who probably burned a decade ago. I could read "Marcom MP something 500 wv.dc something". Thanks! I think those are used to avoid sparks when turning on/off? Since nothing bad happened I presume this component is n...

Re: Thinking about 3d printer
It came with a USB but the printer isn't recognized that way so why have a USB connection? I think the USB port can be used to be printed directly on but it is not worth the hassle IMHO. The printer doesn't seem to recognize the stl files. Cura slices the stl files into gcode. By the way, there is ...

Re: Thinking about 3d printer
Beware, once they are open, they start to suck moisture and printing will get harder (bubbles, adhesion issues potentially). Don't open all at once (if different colors)

Re: Thinking about 3d printer
Yes, my first was really stuck too. If you print PLA, don't heat the bed beyond 40C and it won't be as bad. But too much adhesion is a good problem to have, much easier to troubleshoot than no adhesion and warping of the object. And be careful with that magnetic detachable bed top, it doesn't handle...

Attached some Freecad source files I made as examples. I was too lazy to make it parametric but it should be easy to adapt.
