Another 80/20 Build
Posted: 14 Nov 2010, 22:42
Thanks to everyone here for sharing your knowledge and ideas and especially translucent1 for the great pictures of his setup.
The main frame of the scanner is made out of 80/20 extrusions 1010, 1020 and the cradle is MDF. The platen is Plexi glass.
Tools used were a 10" table saw 10" miter saw and a drill press and some hand tools.
This build took me over a month of gathering parts and piecing them together. The aluminum pieces are not cheap but I did not pay full price for them, got them on ebay used so thats why it took so long to build. Hopefully the cad drawings and pictures will be helpfull to some one.
