In my home lab, I only have a single desk that I share between office and electronics work. Because I was annoyed by the poor ergonomics of my stereo microscope when putting it away after working on it, I put a 3d printed handle on it. So far, it’s working great.
I’ll put the design files on printables this weekend in case anyone shares the same annoyance with this particular type of cheap microscope.
The bolt is going to get screwed to the ceiling (or wall) and then the tentacle can be reaching out of the ceiling (or wall) with no visible attachment points. It can also be more load bearing than if it was just taped to the ceiling/wall.

I created a parameterized box in #FreeCAD! According to my market research, this is exactly what the #3Dprinting world was missing, yet another box. 😃 It has smooth rounded corners for a sleek looking design. Get the source at
