If you still want to pursue it there is a fellow from Montreal on the diybookscanner forum who had a shop cut the pieces for him - sorry, can't find the thread now.

They?ve built many different book scanners that work wonderfully and the founder/creator of the community, Daniel Reetz, has designed an Open Hardware book scanner whose parts can be cut out from a single sheet of plywood on a CNC machine. I?m very interested in building this scanner but unfortunately I don?t have access to a CNC machine. So, I?m hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to someone else that does have a CNC machine for plywood in the Ottawa West area (Kanata, Nepean). One of Daniel?s goals is to have one of these book scanners in every hackerspace. I believe this would be a great project to do and awesome to have at the ModLab for anyone to use. If anyone is interested in this, please let me know.<br> <br>Take care,<br>Vinko<br>-------------- next part --------------</pre><br></div>
