IRIS scanning jig (Using)
This video is designed to demonstrate how I converted a book scanner into a reliable A2 page scanner. The jig was designed in SketchUp and cut on a laser. All parts were aligned using 6mm dowels in the laser cut locator holes glued and clamped to ensure no movement. The crank handle was the only part that was not laser cut and made with standard woodworking practices/tools. Each of the gears rotate with the aid of a standard 22mm OD (8mm ID) skateboard bearing. The jig is designed to hold an IRIS Executive Book Scanner. Supplementary SketchUp models.
