A /DIY Kit build

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.

I'm going to try to "rough" mine together tomorrow to see how everything fits together. I'll have a camera set up so I can share what I did. (Then I plan to mark all the sides that need to be black, take it apart, paint the black sides and stain the other sides...)

Hello!
May I ask you the weight of the package?

Is it possible to get one in Italy (Europe)?

thanks!

Hi,

I am also very interested in getting one. I live in Belgium. Is there any update on distributing the kits in Europe ?
Thanks.

I live in Belgium. I've built a kit and will be selling full DIY kits in the EU starting by the end of next week. Stay tuned.

Any news on that?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes. A very basic version of http://diybookscanner.eu is now live. We have two options:
* base kit for 499€ (all mechanical parts, wood prepainted matte black)
* full kit for 799€ (base kit PLUS 2 preconfigured Canon cameras and everything needed for triggering them except a PC running Ubuntu or Debian)

P.S. A redesign for http://diybookscanner.eu is coming soon. What's there is just "let's get this ready asap because of demand".
