USB Microscope Mount

This USB Microscope Mount replaces the original stand of common LCD-style USB microscopes with a much more flexible and practical solution.

The stock base that comes with these microscopes typically only allows vertical movement and limits how much clearance you have under the lens. This makes it difficult to work on larger objects or position the microscope freely.

This design solves that problem by repurposing a clamping desk lamp arm. The original lamp head is removed and replaced with this custom mount, which attaches using the same peg-and-clamp interface. The result is a fully adjustable arm that allows you to position the microscope anywhere across your workspace with significantly improved height and reach.

The microscope (nominal Ø40 mm body) slides into a 41 mm bore and is secured using two integrated 3D printed set screws. These allow you to firmly lock the microscope in place or leave it slightly loose for easy rotation and positioning.

No additional hardware is required — the set screws are part of the model, and the rest of the components are reused from the lamp.

Printed in BambuLab Black PETG-HF, the mount is durable and well-suited for workshop or electronics bench use.

A simple but highly effective upgrade that transforms a basic USB microscope into a far more versatile inspection tool.

Version with Integrated LED Lights

An additional print profile is included that integrates the flexible LED lights from the original microscope stand.

This version allows you to retain the built-in illumination while benefiting from the improved positioning and clearance of the articulated arm. The lights can be adjusted independently, making it easier to illuminate the work area from different angles.

Two profiles are available:

• Standard version (no lights)
• Integrated LED lights version
