It looks a very interesting project! I notice there looks lots of 3D models you've created, I'm wondering if there's a picture of the assembled physical system? (Sorry if I missed something).
I just had a little look at the second link you posted too, I'm kind of curious if you could hack an old 35mm film scanner to scan 35mm or smaller cinema film.
I've got the Canon CanoScan FS4000, you normally have to load the film into a plastic caddy, and push it in, but I was thinking if you cut a hole in the casing, if you could maybe feed the film through (I've not looked at the internals though, as maybe there's something in the way that prevents that).
- mmcwilliams 7y agoNo, you haven't missed anything; I have. The minolta16 tank, minolta16 cartridge, lomo spindle and bolex rewind key are intended to be assembled. The other files are odds and ends that mainly exist as OpenSCAD files to be incorporated into more complex machines. I should add gifs of the assembly with links to zips containing all the parts. Hacking 35mm or flatbed scanners to scan movie film cheaply and at high quality is something that would fill a real need for several labs and experimental filmmakers who would tolerate a longer scanning process for "free" scans.
