Description
Microscope Sample/Slide Holder:
A microscope slide holder for 26 x 76 x 1mm (1" x 3" x 3/64") microscope slides. It can hold up to 3 slides, makes comparing slides easier. Sometimes I have to check 20+ samples and also compare them at times. This helps me do it without swapping slides each and every time.
New Design! (15-APR-2026):
I've uploaded a new design of the microscope slide holder that I call the "Fixator". This design fixes the issue that I have when I move the holder too fast or bump into somthing and all the slides go flying. The "Fixator" holder has prongs and "slots" that firmly hold(s) the slide(s) in the holder. The prongs are meant to bend so that the slide can be inserted on the other end.
The model has the same dimensions as the original but is a little bit bendier. This is because I had to compromise in some areas to make the overall dimensions the same as the original.
Post Printing Processing:
Remove the support tabs once the print has cooled down.
The microscope slide holder dimensions are:
The slide holder fits on an Olympus inverted microscope with linear rail holders.
Infill percentage doesn't really matter, 100% will increase print time slightly compared to lower percentages. I did mine 100%.
