This is a remix of the super cool Universal LED Ring Light Mount by bmv234. This design in minimilistic, requiring very little print time. It assembles with M3 Screws (McMaster 91290A124) and M3 nuts (McMaster 90591A121). It's about $10 for 100 each, and saves you the headache of printing screws. They are purposly small and flimsy; this is intended to act as a strain relief (should a cord get caught, I would hope the system would break before dipping my 'scope over). Rather than paying for soft tip screws, simply print out the Soft Tip parts and screw the M3 screws into it. Two sizes are given, depending on the size of your eyepiece.
Then glue the LED ring onto the assembly.
I found that the LED dimmer listed produces too many modes and starts up with a strobe light feature. I don't need that kind of parties in my lab, so I have replaced this with Aliexpress part: Mini DC12/24V 1 Channel 4A Dimmer 12V controller Touched Switch Brightness Adjust for SIngle Color LED Strip Lamp AA
