As a follow-up to our recent build, I am considering purchasing a second OpenFlexure Microscope v7 kit from Rodeostat (Kit + 40x objective + 12.7mm achromatic lens + RPi 4B + RPi power supply), and then adapting it to the upright microscope version. I’m trying to make sure we’ll have all the needed hardware before the student starts to build it.
I ran diffchecker between low-cost and upright BoMs as well as high-res vs. upright and low-cost vs. high-res.
What I’m seeing is:
HeatgunSoldering ironandsolderWire strippers- An extra
2 pin Du Pont connector female housing - A
150 ohm resistor 300 mm Pi camera ribbon cable(instead of 200 mm)40 mm of Black heatshrink - 4.8mm ID1 Black pre-crimped Female-Female jumper cable (30 cm)35 mm of Red heatshrink - 2.4mm ID1 Red pre-crimped Female-Female jumper cable (30 cm)- 1 extra
M3 brass nut - 5 extra
M3 nut - 6 extra
M3x10 cap head screws - 2 extra
No 2 6.5mm self tapping screws - 1 extra
Viton O-ring (30mmx2mm) - "Viton band"
I also did a diffchecker for high-res vs. upright 3D printed parts.
It looks like:
- Separate z-actuator:
separate_z_actuator.stl- The smart brim may require custom print settings. - Condenser arm:
condenser.stl - Upright z-actuator mount:
upright_z_actuator_mount.stl - 4 feet:
upright_feet.stl - 4 large gears:
upright_large_gears.stl - Upright condenser:
upright_condenser.stl- The condenser may require custom print settings as used for the smart brim. - Upright condenser platform:
upright_condenser_platform.stl - Lens spacer:
lens_spacer_picamera_2_pilens.stl- This must be printed in black! info - Illumination thumbscrew:
illumination_thumbscrew.stl - pi camera platform:
camera_platform_picamera_2_pilens.stl
Does this seem correct?
Aside: we also have all the parts (I think) for two reflection Delta Stage Microscopes - hopefully will build those soon!
