USB Microscope Stand (My Version)
Uses 1/2 inch -20 Threaded Rod and Nut for the main Z-Adjustment (you will need to glue or weld the nut in place). The stand pieces are affixed by (4) M3 15-20 screws.

Uploaded version 2 of the design with some improvements (most of the screw joints in the base should work now & the camera is further out from the rod).
