Based of other recent posts I decided to try some new flex PLA filament I have to test the body. It took a while to dial in my printer to avoid stringing and getting the bridges right. I had to print really slow at about 15mm/sec which took 15 hours to print this microscope body.
The stage moves fine but probably too loose and may experience some backlash when I install it. I will assemble it this week and see how it performs.
More importantly is indestructible! see my crash test:
