35mm film scanning elements

The primary objective is to develop a system capable of automatically advancing and scanning 35mm film, marking the initial stage of this project. The necessary files have been made available, including a FreeCAD file and an STL file, which contain the designs for the following components: - Film gate: This section provides the foundation for the entire mechanism. - Pinch roller: Utilizes two 624 roller bearings to securely hold the film in place. - Motor roller: Designed specifically for use with a 28BYJ stepper motor from http://42bots.com/tutorials/28byj-48-stepper-motor-with-uln2003-driver-and-arduino-uno/. This motor is chosen for its reliability and precision. The camera support has been designed to accommodate the Raspberry Pi Camera, which features a CS mount. However, it's essential to verify that this setup functions correctly. Throughout the system, threaded rods play a crucial role in holding various components together. The 4mm threaded rod is used extensively throughout the film gate assembly, while the 8mm threaded rod serves as the primary structural support for other parts of the mechanism.
