Lasercut photobooth flexbox polaroid instagram

Here are the design files for a simple flexbox photobooth box and podest for the button: I used Canon 500D as my camera, which sits on a platform inside and is secured with a tripod screw that I likely printed from Thingiverse. The floodlight's rear side has been cut off to create a hole for the 500D built-in flash to shine through - this was done using a dremel. The front-side cutouts feature sandpaper matte acrylic, edge-lit by LEDs. Everything is controlled with an Arduino Mini Pro clone put on a breadboard, which turns on or off the various countdown and smile LEDs, as well as triggers the camera via the remote 2.5mm jack. I disassembled a Chinese Canon battery to fit inside an adjustable DC regulator, thus eliminating the need for battery replacement or recharging for the camera - all thanks to a switch located on the side with two RCA connectors, one each for the button podest and dc power in.
