8mm film scanner

thingiverse

This set includes all parts needed to build an 8mm film scanner, utilizing any SLR camera equipped with a remote jack, typically featuring a 2.5mm plug, for remote shooting capabilities. The film movement is controlled by an Arduino that operates two servos for film progression and one switch, which reads the film gate, informing the Arduino when a frame is positioned to be captured. This set does not include the camera battery replacement part due to its uniqueness to each specific camera type. All other printed components are included in this package. The box stand for the scanner is crafted from floor laminate, utilizing the printed corners as seen in the provided picture. More details and building instructions will become available on my blog at www.sabulo.com soon. For a video demonstration of the scanner in operation, visit my Instagram account (@isohoo3d) at https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ayqALBOIN/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet. Assembling this scanner may prove to be a bit challenging; however, here are some key points to consider: * When constructing the film port, it is essential to insert soft material between the parts to prevent damage to your film. I used lens cleaning cloth cut into strips for this purpose. * The connection between the film gate servo and the film gate axle must be scaled during print time. A round end of the servo axle is glued to a round servo horn. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need clarification on any aspect of this project.
