This tutorial is about how i build my DIY-Microscope using this webcam. In the very beginning I was very curious how it would work out to print it with the 3D-printer. This is my sketchup-sketch for it:

Unfortunately the 3D-printer got damaged by someone, when i started to work. So i decided to work with materials that i can find in every hardware store. I made up my mind how the mechanism is supposed to work to adjust the camera‘s focus and how it can have a fixed stand. In class we developed the idea with the screw and the nut. I really liked that mechanism because it reminded me on the gluestick-mechanism. So i gave it a try.
