OpenFlexure Microscope v7.0.0-alpha1 released!

I have been going through the printed parts list to print one of these.
For anyone else building it, in the Print the plastic parts tab of the instructions, there are parts of the base missing.
There is the main base part microscope_stand.stl, and a part listed as motor_driver_case_sangaboard.stl. This part does not exist in v7, but the microscope stand will need the tray for the Raspberry Pi and also a tray to go on top of that to hold an Arduino Nano and motor drivers. This is shown in the posts OpenFlexure Microscope v7.0.0-Alpha is nearing. The parts needed I think are:
pi_stand.stl for the tray for the Pi
nano_converter_plate.stl for the tray to hold the Arduino Nano and motor controllers
nano_converter_plate_gripper.stl but I have not printed it yet, so not sure exactly where it goes.
There must be a place I could link directly to the STLs, but currently I find them through the build artefacts of the tagged release on GitLab.


Click on image at the right hand side and select build. That gets you a .zip file with all of the STLs

Edit: 6/9/2021: The build artefacts are no-longer available through this link
