About this 3D model

*** Note: Any tips will go straight to our charity "TReND in Africa" (www.trendinafrica.org) which is dedicated to fostering university level science education on the African continent! *** My 1st attempt of a 3D design - inspired by the Backyard Brains "Searcher" manipulator (http://backyardbrains.rs/micromanipulator.aspx). ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// OUR SCIENCE IN AFRICA NGO: http://trendinafrica.org/ A registered charity run by volunteer scientists on 4 continents Help us design good, cheap lab equipment for African scientists! http://trendinafrica.org/activities/open-source/open-source-main/ Join us! Sponsor us! Spread the word. Thank you!

One could also place a stepper or something on the end to motorise it which presumably would make it more precise and useful. Made in OpenSCAD. I put all key parameters as variables in the top so one can quickly change things, e.g. length/widths/thickness, size of holes. For now it's designed for Metric M4 screws/boats.
