Thanks for your quick reply and sharing the latest insights. Would try printing the new base, drawer and plate sometime later after v7 is fully done. For now, guess I would just leave the plate unattached physically to the drawer; it would require too much resin to print them again.
And sure would share my photos when its done. Just sourcing a nano and some soldering remains. Btw I realized it wasn’t optimized for resin printing but it actually kind of comes out really nicely when printed flat on the build platform, with some supports required for the stage. There were some regions forming suction cups for the FEP which I didn’t realize before printing, but even still it came out great at the first try. The only thing was, The standard and even the ABS-like resins are just not flexible enough to withstand bending for flexures. They are too brittle. So after some experimentation, came up with a mix of 60% standard (cuz cheap), 30% ABS like and 10% elastic (esun eresin elastic). Was able to fully assemble the actuators and test it out with Viton O rings as well (Thought it would break but didnt).
Cuz of the suction forces, some layer squishing resulted but its barely noticeable. I added some holes placed at non functioning parts to reduce that.
Also, I am building an upright version as well, and printed its main_body tilted at 45 degrees, this one came out pretty nicely as well. As its a upright one, Thinking of designing a 160mm tube for the optics for cheap 10x eyepieces instead of a camera. Do let me know if such a design is also already been worked upon though I’m pretty new to OpenSCAD.
Btw here is the unfinished build
