Adventures in 3D Printing
We have a Makerbot Replicator 2X 3D printer! We use it to print microscope parts, lab equipment, and various other cool things. Below you can find descriptions and design files for some of the more useful or interesting things we've made so far!
Nikon Microscope Camera Mount for 3D Imaging
A replica of the camera mount for a Nikon Eclipse TE2000/Ti microscope, with an added acceptor slot for cylindrical lenses to do 3D imaging.
What is this? And why do I want it?
2x2 25 mm Rotating Test Tube Rack
By Huseyin Tas. Designed to screw into the platform of a New Brunswick C76 water bath shaker, and can be scaled up to hold more tubes. Compare to this!
