Epson scanner film area guide (1mm thick)

thingiverse

I made a 1mm thick film area guide for Epson scanners (mine's Epson Perfection 4990, but it should fit other large transparency beds as well). I use this to scan up to 20 slides at a time (the supplied slide holder can hold up to 8, but if you use the film area guide you can scan 20 at a time). My problem with the original film area guide is that the slides would accidentally get pushed over it because it's thin. My 3D printed guide's thickness ensures they stay within bounds. Requires large format 3D printer. I used Ender 5 **Plus**.
