DIY bookscanner with printable parts

Instructions

This is the second prototype of my DIY bookscanner. See dspace.org.nz/2011/09/11/bookscanner-project/ for build instructions.

You will need to print out multiple copies of these parts:
- 16 printed parts of "m3 nut and bolt attachment to through bar"
- 8 printed parts "90 degree bar join"
- 2 printed parts, depends on the angle of the platen. angle/2 degree bar join (for simplicity I've used 45 degrees)
- 2 printed parts, depends on the angle of the platen. 90+angle/2 degree bar join (for simplicity I've used 135 degrees)
- 2 printed parts "lowerplaten connector"
- 2 printed parts "upperplaten connector"
- 4 printed parts "90 degree bar join (no trapped nut)"
- 2 printed parts "camera_mount(Logitech C910 webcam)"

how about flipping the construction by 180°? like this, you would not need to open the construction each time - just place the book on top... perhaps this will need an extra light source but construction will be much easier and scanning is probably much faster... what you think?

That's clever!

the easiest way to scan books is to saw off the binding and send them through a double sided scanner, of course!

By the way...just throwing an idea out there...wouldn't an e-book reader make a great book scanner?

 You don't need to scann an e-book. The format is allready readable text. Informatic text. You just have to copy/past it.
