Ryan, I would not be very confident in a parts made of PLA, even more when you are stressing them with screws. These parts may crack when you are away of your microscope with awful result for it.
I would use PETG, Nylon or ABS. These materials has much better mechanic properties than PLA.
Oh, yes. It is a useful thing. You can attach a camera or phone to almost every optical instrument.
There are other models also, but this is similar as mine.
Very nice work Dan!
What you said about having a name is a big true... just a few lines of Picasso may worth millions. Unfortunately this is not the same for many great artist all around the world that lack of that lucky strike what can shoot you to the fame.

Cordiales saludos!!
Dear engravers friends,

Whenever you want Monk, I will be happy to answer your questions!
It was really a funny comment... I am still laughing! But seriously, the problem is not in the ring light. I am sure that it can receive many whacks without affecting its performance but I would be concerned about the delicate...
Hi Brian!
Thank you so much for your feedback. It was very nice to hear from you and to know that the ring light is servicing you well.
As for your final comment I am thinking to add to the ring light specifications that it is "hammer proof" !! :) Just kidding!
All the very best to you and...
The internal diameter is 60 mm. There are three screws that let you adjust the diameter to fit your microscope objective as long as it is less that 60 mm.
