Klip Snap Book Cradle

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.

So would only seem to work with books that can be (forced ) to lay flat

Is suggested use with ScanSnap SV600 ( or other overhead scannner ) implies that the software scanning of curved pages is not that good?

The overhead scanners would give a differing scan resolution as the light beam moves across the pages.

Yeah, a few issues here. You'd want the glass to be antireflection coated, and as thin as possible for best results.

As a community we have always maintained that glass is important - good flat page images in, good scans out. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that correcting curvature is problematic, focus will not be even across a curved page, etc.

The build is interesting, almost 100% off the shelf components. Lab jacks, all-thread, coupling nuts, extrusion, hardware store glass. Same sorts of things folks have used here.
