With my colleague's 3D printer - noChrisR wrote:I was thinking of doing the same, but getting it machined.
Is the thread itself 3D-printable?
And even with the great printer I wouldn't do it - to press in+ glue M42 extension ring is cheaper/faster solution.
Machining - later option (if needed), after all beta testing

OK, next step - to attach to the my existing setup
With 3D printed dovetail adapter for the tube lens/infinity objective
...and the turret version. I can use this setup with infinity objective also by placing back Reichert tube lens to the trinocular head
It is little bit overkill to have two focus assemblies in one setup....
Most probably it will be useful to use Double Flange Long High-Cycle Linear Bearing with Brake Holes instead aluminum back plate for the Optiphot focus block - something similar to https://8020.net/shop/6536.html in order to have lower profile than my previous sliding head+focus block combination.
Previous version:
BTW, my Labophot base stage does not have slide holder, so there is 3D printed solution:
Now it is much more easier to place different diffusers, screens, scrims, etc.
