Adapter for connecting camera, M42, to 0.8" RMS microscope lens.

Adapter length is approximately 100mm.

Internal texture for absorbing incoming light. This prevents the light from bouncing off the inner walls into the camera lens.

15% infill. Print at 0.1mm layer height (the threads require this level of precision)

The 0.8" RMS thread on top is incorrect. Use heat gun to heat the hole, in order for it to expand, then screw in microscope lens.
