Draft: Double dove illumination

Julian Stirling requested to merge double-dove-illumination into master

An experimental new illumination mounting system. There is a pointy cut out in the mount:

The back of the condenser fits inside this:

nut traps and screws are then used to tension the internal structure against the mount. This allows both simple adjustment and firm locking in place.

Potential issues

  • The stress on the mount may cause it to weaken over time, early prototypes broke.
  • if the nut traps are not tight enough the nuts may fall out. Too tight and nut forces the print layers apart.
