The rack and pinion-adjustable, rapidly 3D-printable, Raspberry Pi-based digital microscope for soldering (and more!).
This project uses:
- Raspberry Pi 3 or 4
- Raspberry Pi HQ camera with a C-mount microscope lens
- v-slot aluminium profiles
- a bunch of commodity fasteners and bearings I had laying around
to create a digital microscope with a regulated working distance (and therefore, zoom).
It utilizes a 3D printed version of a mechanism that's been commonplace in analog microscopes for ages - the rack and pinion, driven by a worm gear to ensure self-locking.
Bill of materials, build instructions and source code can be found on Github.
