Typical fit issues, resolved with a brutalist approach.
It works though - here's the whole setup:
Left to do: spray paint all the bright steel bolts and raw wood exposed by chisel in order to get rid of a couple of annoying reflections.

Re: DIY kit assembly
aeturnus would you (if you haven't already) post a pic of the finish issues you had? I'm working on reprogramming all the artwork today and want to solve any problems like that cleanly. I wouldn't mind, but there's not much to see since I've already chiselled the joints down - what exactly would be...

Re: DIY kit assembly
I put my scanner together to the exact same point yesterday. I'm wondering if you've figured out what sort of screw to use for your cameras? Is it a bolt/screw available from home depot or is the threading different such that we have to order online or something? Your build looks very very nice. The...

Re: Monson's Servo Auto Scanner
Looks like a solid and well thought-out improvement. I don't know if I'm sold on an 80/20 or makerslide approach. I'm not sure the parts on offer are the right solution, and cost is a factor. I guess I'm just not sure how it would be an improvement over jck57's current approach. If we can build it o...

Re: Monson's Servo Auto Scanner
While I'm at it, how did you cut the steel? A jigsaw or angle grinder or something else?

Re: Monson's Servo Auto Scanner
Nice, looks much more stable! I just have so many questions about this machine, but I'll limit myself to one. What stores do you buy your parts from? Particularly curious about a good source for slotted flat bar and other components of the presser arms, and that sweet adjustable box for the feed ro...

Re: Monson's Servo Auto Scanner
Since this system is arduino-based it might make sense to integrate camera control via arduino, removing two servos: http://www.circuitsathome.com/camera-control/digital-camera-control-using-arduino-usb-host-shield-part-1-basics Wouldn't work for all cameras, but if and when I have time to build one...

Re: Monson's Servo Auto Scanner
Wow, those changes really make it look unstoppable.
What is involved in making one of these? I'd love to see a build walkthrough / parts list!
