Leica A60 eyepiece focus locks

[sam]

Eyepiece focus locks for Leica A60 microscopes.
The Leica A60 is one of the best bench microscopes I have ever used. I don't use a headrest so when my face touches the soft rubber eyecups, the eyepieces can turn a small amount and defocus. I CAD designed these focus locks to prevent this, and they lock the eyepiece rotation very securely. Made of carbon fiber.
I have a few sets made. They are availble here:

FREE USA SHIPPING
I'm not taking international orders at this time due to stupidly high postage fees.

Very nice idea, which might be useful for other microscope types as well!

To avoid the ludicrously postage fees for international shipping, how about putting a .stl file for sale on your video download site? Local 3D print shops could make the focus locks from PA or something similiar strong for people who bought the file. Given the size of the market, I doubt there will be much illegal copying of the file.
