This is a self supporting 1 piece plastic part that requires no assembly. The adapter allows you to use your iPhone 5 to capture still images, video, or FaceTime content from under the microscope. Zoom and focus are provided by the microscope. The adapter is capable of adjusting to eye pieces that vary 30mm +/- 2mm. This part was originally designed in ABS. PLA will likely seem a lot stiffer where the eye piece flexes.

I have included a .x3g file for this part. This file will for for the Makerbot Replicator 2X. The file will build using the right extruder (ABS material), make a raft, 300 micron layer setting, build plate heated to 110C, Support turned off, grown vertically rested on its flat base, density is 5%. Build time is 58 minutes.

If you use the .stl I recommend using settings similar to what I have above. I have not tried making this part in PLA. The part works perfectly fine on the 300 mircon layer setting. My extruder tends to print over sized so the undercuts I have to support the bottom of the phone are over-sized to compensate for the part coming in about 0.3mm undersized. When print is finished just peel off the raft and your done!

Good Luck!
