== What is it? ==
flat 'in-view rotating' XY table 80x80 mm for microscope SMD assembly and inspection

Just 26 mm high but featuring 2 axis for movement and 1 for rotation (no Z, use microscope focus instead). All moving parts are printable.
Usage: use either stick for rotation around center axis, will always be around part in-view.
Twist the sticks to move the XY table with gear-reduced precision, all while keeping your eyes on the microscope.

Soldering small SMT components now becomes a lot easier and improvement of quality of work can be expected.
A ring light was added for better lighting of the PCB. The gooseneck lights can still be useful to shine on side of chips to reveal their markings.
