Microscope/Slit Lamp Adapter - Larger phones and vertical mount
Building on the work of ggos, I redesigned this cellphone holder for microscopes/slit lamps.
The sliding clamp now has a hook to be able to hold the phone in vertically, for horizontal eyepieces, where gravity doesn't necessarily hold the phone in.
The eyepiece was modified to allow shorter 40mm M3 screws to be used to close it.
The body T-piece was enlarged to fit my Pixel 9 with the side camera - 75mm slider arms, and a 140mm bottom slider.
I also added some tolerance to the eyepiece to allow the body to slide into it easier.
I have included my f3d file - feel free to use/modify/update, as long as you don't complain about my chaotic variable names!
- This will allow easier reproduction for any permutation of phone depth, width, height, or camera location.
The M3 thumbwheel is from julianh72.
To make:
Print 3x SliderClamp
Print 1x EyePiece Top, and 1x EyePiece Bot
Print 1x T-Body
Print 5x M3 Thumbwheel
Insert an M3 nut into each thumbwheel. I then used a hand 3d filament pen to 'glue' the nut in further, but the fit is generally snug and good without it.
Slide the T-Body into the bottom eyepiece. Note, if your camera prodrudes from the phone body, don't slide the body into the eye piece all the way (allow a step for the camera protrusion to fit). If the fit isn't snug enough, you can use a 5-6mm M3 bolt to lock it in place.
Affix the top and bottom eyepieces together - use 2x 40mm M3 bolts inserted from the bottom and a 2x thumbwheels on the top
Add the slider on each arm, using a 16mm M3 bolt
Bolts:
M3 16mm x3 (sliders)
M3 40mm x2 (eyepiece)
M3 5-6mm x1 (optional, to affix the T-Body to the eyepiece)
Nut:
M3 x5 (to go in thumbwheels)
I printed mine in white PLA. Once this one breaks, I may choose a more durable filament if needed.
