A DIY Book Scanner In Every Hackerspace /DIY Kit

Built a scanner? Started to build a scanner? Record your progress here. Doesn't need to be a whole scanner - triggers and other parts are fine. Commercial scanners are fine too.

Many thanks,

Thanks dpc!

Working solutions:
#1: Temporarily removed clamps in favor of electrical trigger
#2: See video
#3: Disabled "widescreen", which opened the top and bottom of the viewfinder enough to position the gutter on the bottom of the frame.
#4: Set white balance to auto removed the blue. (BTW, I'm using LED, not halogen as I previously wrote.)
#5: Yes, painting black would probably help glare.

No, the new design is here: http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/vie ... =28&t=2593

I've updated the top of this post to reflect that.

Hi,
I've downloaded the 9.20 files and have taken them to a local shop that has a cnc router.
He has indicated that he needs more technical information to get the triggers and pulleys done, because the .dxf are 2 dimensional.
I don't know what that means, since I'm not an engineer. Are there any more specs or 3 D .dxf files that will help me explain the technical details to my local shop?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Daniel, I searched the forum and web sites and I cannot find the 10W Led light with the AC power cord. The lamps I found come with two nude wires. Can you tell us where to get the lamp with the 110V AC cord and wall plug.

Thanks for your time and passion

I've never found them with a power plug attached. In the current kids that I'm selling I manually attaching a power plug To every light.

Hi all

Are the big plates named correctly in the assembly instructions?
In page 8, rear plate and front plate?

Thanks

Hi,

I am talking to a guy with a cnc machine about cutting the plans for me here is Edinburgh, Scotland. The birch plywood looks a little expensive and he suggested we might use MDF. Has anyone built this with MDF? Would it be possible? Would it be much heavier?

Also I was wondering whether you would consider doing a kit without the wood - just all the bits and lamp - for export. It would save me finding them all locally.

Most grateful for your thoughts.

Roger
