It was magnifying...in my best Grease show tune impression

As mentioned in my xmas thread, my wife bought me this microscope for xmas, which I plan to use for viewing blade edges. Here is a quick test of how it works. Stu also did a demo of using this, but couldn't find his thread to link.


The microscope came with a base that has a suction cup to mount it on a piece of glass. I came across this design on Thingiverse, so printed it yesterday (20 hour print), which will allow me to use it more like a normal scope.


Here is a quick view of just viewing the print fibers on the platten, at normal and 4X. It also connects up to a computer to use as a camera for capture and recording video.

Amazing!

That is really cool stuff.

That could really come in handy for things. I've got one that can hook to my phone, but not sure about the resolution. That attached screen is really quite nice.

The pics of the on-screen stuff don't do them justice, the resizing of the pics really dumbed down the quality, they are quite clear in person.

Very nice, Darren!!!

Darren, my friend! That is awesome doings.

Very cool!

I don’t know which is more cool. The microscope or the 3D printer stand.
My mind still boggles at what’s on thingiverse.

Wish there was a place to download more hours in the day. Lol
