3D printed microscope holder, and some examples

#1 Post by AntonioGPS » Wed Apr 08, 2020 9:19 am

I own a 3D printer, and printed this with it using regular PLA
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2567141

As you can see,it allow me to use my movil phone to capture images. I must say that the printing of the device was easy, and that it worked beautifully. I put some pictures

PD: I had the chance to see this Oxytricha (the cilliate) dividing at real time. A nice experience

Hi AntonioGPS,

I guess there's a problem with your pictures, I cannot see them, tried on 2 different computers.

I can see them within the message. Maybe is a problem with Google permissions.
I will ensure that they can be shared

Indeed, this could be the problem. I ensured a open access. Please, let me know whether they can be seen now

Hi Antonio I can see 2 images.

I always had problems sharing images from Google Photos, so now don't use it for this forum.

All three images are now visible to me, Antonio ... very impressive, thanks.

The only thing that disturbs me is that satellite whizzing round your head :roll:

Hi Antonio,
I can't see the pictures. This forum has it's own image host for up to 500kb pictures with max 1024 pixels image size.

This adapter is probably th best design available on thingiverse. There is a version 1.1 too.
As typical for Thingiverse most designs are clearly not made by someone who has the faintest clue about how to design something. So when looking for a smartphone-microscope adapter one ends up with lots of flimsy, wobbly stuff and this design that apperars to be weel thought out.

I haven't printed on myself but just bought a ready made one: https://www.ebay.de/itm/SWIFT-Handyadap ... 2749.l2649

It arrived today and looks fairly well made. I haven't tested it so far but will do so after testing it.
