    "Budget" conscious Trinocular Microscope & Fume Extraction

    so I stole drakes idea and made it better I first 3d printed the adapter, but bumped my printer like 80% into the print and didn't trust the structural integrity of the print job. Rather than reprint it, I got a generic monitor VESA plate, and a piece of the scope arm, and was planning on...
