I've been working a lot on the case, trying to find ways to slim it down and increase its functionality. I ended up designing a magnetic mount that allows attachment of various modules, and only adds 4mm to the overall thickness. Overall, it's no bigger than a standard battery case.
I used particularly strong magnets to give a secure hold, and the raised design helps to align the mount and hold everything in place when attached. The only way to pull it apart is straight out; the effects of side knocks & twisting are minimized.


The case includes the filter wheel, a tripod mount, and a self-aligning magnetic mount. I'm planning on making 'magmount' tiles for additional modules, my Openflexure microscope, and a photogrammetry turntable.
