Scanner camera body
Parts for the scanner camera body
The main parts of the body of the scanner camera is made of
6mm plywood and some aluminum profiles.

All material used here is widely available at the local wood/metal store

I used the following dimensions:420x280mm for the front and back.
The front has a cut out that are 295x190mm and starts 70mm from
one of the narrower sides (a bit offset length wise)

Side walls are 80mm high.
 
Scanner camera body layout

Housing that are supose to hold the scanner
I guess that those images gives you a ruff idea' of how it should be
put together.
I will drill some holes in the aluminum profiles to let me use screws
to assemble the box, I will also use PU glue to make it more rigid
and less prone to get skew and distorted.
Putting the scanner camera body together

Aluminum profiles screwed and glued to the front and back
side walls just about to be mounted.

Polyurethane adhesive was used to glue the aluminum parts to the
wooden parts.

PU glue is sticky an find you more attractive than your girlfriend do ;0)

The scannercamera body (Wooden box) Cascol 1809 PU glue a rag
and black paint for the final touch.

Acetone to clean that sticky stuff of your fingers and everything else that
it sticks to!( use gloves if you are smarter than I am :0)
 
Camera body with mounted bellows
Box painted black and bellows stapled to it.
All this is easy to do but takes some time, when this project is up and
running I will post some alternative ways to make this camera for those
of you with more money than time (still relatively cheep for so much fun)
Tripod threds
Threads for the tripod mount, I mounted one for standing mount and one
for regular.

Small image shows the nuts I used for this, fixed with epoxy glue.
