After a while my Amscope SM series microscope started to squeek when pivoting it out of the way of my workspace.  The paint/powder coating had worn away on the very small surface that supports the microscope.

I got a thrust bearing and just needed a cage for it to solve the problem

Suggest you print this with 100% infill at whatever detail level you wish.

Hope this helps someone improve their scope!
