Description

Summary This is a simple yet handy thumbscrew for m3s. This component is part of the Open-source optics project (http://www.appropedia.org/Open_source_optics), whose goal is to radically reduce the cost of scientific optical hardware: by the [Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology Research Group]( http://www.mse.mtu.edu/MOST (http://www.mse.mtu.edu/MOST)). For similar see the Open-Source Lab How to Build Your Own Hardware and Reduce Research Costs (http://store.elsevier.com/coArticle.jsp?pageid=18200010&utm_source=Joshua+Pearce&utm_medium=marketing&utm_campaign=Open-Source+Lab+Free+Access) Instructions Print and put together with an m3 nut and screw of your choosing. We originaly posted this as part of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26752 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26752) and the OpenSCAD code is there if you need it - but is easier to keep track of when using in other prints if it is alone. Ideal for low profile m3x30/25mm. Thanks to Nick for design. This component is part of the Open-source Optics Library: Zhang C, Anzalone NC, Faria RP, Pearce JM (2013) Open-Source 3D-Printable Optics Equipment (http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0059840). PLoS ONE 8(3): e59840. This is part of a larger project to reduce the cost of scientific equipment using open-source hardware.
