Scanty's DIY Book Scanner Project
Posted: 04 Feb 2017, 16:45
Seems a good idea to start this thread from the very start.
And I want to start with a question.
If I have the blueprints, plans of the Archivist Quill Book Scanner.
I also discovered this service: 3D printing services in Utrecht.
So producing the bookscanner could be done there. Developed Hackerspace is not really closeby. While these hubs are.
Looking at all the available materials one can use. I wonder if anyone looked into 3d printing the whole thing.
Material wise it looks doable. Only converting plans to the output needed looks difficult and I have no inkling on the costs
involved.
Anyone has any experience with this? Or insight in the costs involved with 3d printing?
