Daniel's Work Thread: Toward a Hackerspace Scanner

Built a scanner? Started to build a scanner? Record your progress here. Doesn't need to be a whole scanner - triggers and other parts are fine. Commercial scanners are fine too.

Also, in this picture you can see my new air filter/chip separator combo, which is really working nicely. So far, very happy with it.
Also visible in the background is the famous triptych by artist Manny Lus Cruz, "A Failure of Inspiration". It is best viewed when listening to John Cage's 4'33''.

Expensive.
Hi,

In fact those type of flanged bearing are used in glider chair....Expensive for sure at 2$ each for more than 100 but still an easy solution ?????

Hi,

Hey Daniel, we can use the 1000 bearings you just buy and make with the CNC the flange pocket. Do you need one of my primitive CAD drawing to figure it out.... :lol:

See you

Fab
P.S. The sketch Jck refer you to, is my interpretation of a flange bearing sorry for my primitive CAD . :mrgreen:

I received my "hackerspace" scanner kit and am very exicited!

My plan is to scan in all my music, then build a custom music desk for my piano that has an LCD screen in it but looks otherwise normal.

In the meantime, I can just keep an iPad on the music desk. I hate to sound like an Apple fan-boy, but the "retinal" (how I hate that term) display on the new iPad 3 really makes reading scanned documents a better experience.

I've tried to redo the depth sketch of the design files for the .9.20 hackerspace scanner build before sending things off to the cnc. I have looked closely at the .9.10 files, the assembly instructions, videos and more, but I am sure I have made some mistakes.

EDIT:
* UPDATED: fix missing brace depths, clarify license
* TODO: trigger & pulleys (waiting for updated source)

The tabs on the braces fit into the slots on the large face plates. So whatever dimensions you made those slots, that's how big the tabs have to be.

I really like this picture. May I include it with the design files?

Also, the design files are (accidentally) incomplete, I discovered yesterday. The pulleys and triggers were not included. They are in the previous release.

Rob's right, the thickness of the remaining wood on those red-indicated areas matches the slots on the front and rear face pieces. In this case, that thickness is .5"
