| # Cube Insert OpenFlexure (Delta) Stage | ||
| This part adapts the OpenFlexure Delta-stage from Richard Bowman's group at the Bath University to the modular optical system UC2. It is basically a plate which has 4 ball-magnets on one side to adapt to 1 UC2 cubes and a flat surface equipped with 3 holes to adapt to the openflexure delta-stage. | ||
|
|
||
| It's a work in progress! | ||
|

|
|
||
| ## Purpose | ||
| The [OpenFlexure Stage](https://www.openflexure.org) can be downloaded from the official [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/openflexure/openflexure-microscope)-Repository. It's a monolithic XYZ-stage with tremendous precision. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ## Properties | ||
|
|
||
| OpenFlexure Stage stacked on the UC2 cubes. A fold-mirror can redirect the beam from the objective lens inside the Z-slide of the stage. | ||

||
| ## Parts | ||
|
|
||
| To acquire the STL-files use the [UC2-Configurator](https://uc2configurator.netlify.app/). The files themselves are in the [RAW](../RAW/STL) folder. The module can be built using injection-moulded (IM) or 3D-printed (3DP) cubes. | ||
|
|
||
| ### 3D printing parts | ||
| ..can be found in the [STL](./STL)-folder. | ||

||
| ## Remarks and Tips | ||
|
|
||
| ### 3D Printing | ||
| Print as is without support. Infill can be around 30%. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Safety | ||
| Take care in case you're dealing with lasers. Don't burn yourself if you solder the part! | ||
