OE-2
Description
Happy to share this design with you. A newly designed adapter to capture images from your microscope or telescope using your smartphone. OE-2 is designed to line up any smartphone camera to any microscope or telescope eyepiece lens ranging 15 to 50 mm in diameter. Align OE-2 to the smartphone camera and attach to the eyepiece. OE-2’s eyepiece clamp automatically centers the eyepiece lens to the camera window. Design for general FDM 3D printers using PETG, PLA, or ABS. No additional support needed, easy to print No additional hardware needed, easy to assemble Layer height of 3mm works fine. Infill: can be 20% for most of the body Infill: OC Drive (worm screw) must be at 100% solid infill Lube recommended for the gear teeth to improve performance. Silicone grease is best. What’s New: Self centering eyepiece clamp Pivoting alignment for the smartphone camera with height adjustment Designed without the need for support material Wish List: A brace to hold the phone from sliding out of the clamp. Known Issues: It's a very tight build and is designed with face clearances of .25mm. This may be too tight for some printers. A version with .5mm clearances will be available soon. Please comment if you have any questions or run into any issues with the design. This project began as a way to expand digitized microscopy throughout underfunded schools. The goal is to improve microscope data communication and comprehension using the prolific smartphone camera and 3D printed microscope adapter that is easy to use.
