Hi [mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], I had been considering something similar to this to be used for watch repair. Do you have a download link for the 3D files? I did not see one, though I may have overlooked it.

I have seen watchmakers suggest various models of stereo microscopes from AmScope, but they tend to be around $350 - $500+
Where as I already have a 3D printer + pi 3B I'd like to try this design / BOM for $150 & see where that gets me.

Very good build.

I had a similar idea, but fitting the camera to a full microscope.

Hello [mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05],

Lots of good information, as usual with your posts.

What is the model of the digital microscope and what is the focal length at usable magnification for soldering (4x to 10x)?

Cheers,
