Production-Ready 3D Printable Microscope CAD Design

I am building a compact laboratory microscope / optical diagnostic device and need a production-ready 3D CAD assembly that can be 3D printed, assembled, tested, and iterated into a real working prototype. The goal is not just a visual model. I need a functional mechanical design with realistic part separation, screw holes, tolerances, motion clearances, and assembly logic. The design should be clean, engineering-grade, and suitable for prototyping using FDM/SLA 3D printing, with the option to later move some parts to CNC or injection molding. The microscope should include the main frame/body, optical tube support, objective turret, focusing mechanism, X-Y stage, sample slide holder, camera/sensor mounting area, illumination mount, and all required brackets, fasteners, knobs, gears, rails, and moving parts. Key design requirements 1. Production-ready and 3D printable • Parts must be designed for real-world 3D printing, not just rendering • Include proper wall thickness, fillets, screw bosses, threaded inserts, clearance gaps, and support-aware geometry • Split the model into printable components that can be assembled with common screws, heat-set inserts, rods, springs, and bearings where needed • Avoid overly fragile parts or geometry that cannot be printed reliably • Design should be strong enough for repeated use during prototype testing 2. Movable mechanical assemblies The CAD must include realistic motion and constraints for: • Coarse and fine focus knobs connected to a rack-and-pinion or lead-screw style focusing mechanism • Vertical Z-axis focus movement for the optical head or stage • X-Y translating stage platform for slide positioning • Objective lens turret with indexed rotation and realistic mounting positions • Optional height adjustment or leveling features for the stage if mechanically practical 3. Optical and device layout Please leave proper mounting areas for: • Objective lenses • Camera module or microscope sensor • LED illumination system • Sample slide holder • Wiring channels or small electronics compartments if needed • Future enclosure or cover panels 4. Engineering quality • Fully editable parametric CAD assembly • Clearly named parts and sub-assemblies • Mechanical mates/constraints for all moving parts • Travel limits for focus and stage motion • Clash-free motion between parts • Reasonable tolerances for 3D printing and assembly • Design should be modular so parts can be replaced or improved later 5. Deliverables • Native editable CAD files: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, or similar • STEP export of the full assembly • STEP files for individual printable parts • STL or 3MF files ready for 3D printing • Basic 2D drawings or dimensioned screenshots for key parts • Exploded assembly view • Bill of materials listing screws, rods, springs, bearings, inserts, lenses, and other off-the-shelf parts • Short PDF or screen-capture walkthrough explaining how the focus mechanism, X-Y stage, and objective turret work 6. Important notes I will review the model by checking whether the parts can actually be printed, assembled, and moved. Please do not create a decorative model only. I need a practical mechanical CAD design that can become a real prototype. Experience with microscopes, optical instruments, lab devices, camera mounts, precision mechanisms, 3D-printable product design, or medical-device-style enclosures would be very helpful. Please include any relevant sample work, especially functional assemblies with gears, sliding stages, focusing mechanisms, or precision movement.
