I've tried a lot of different scanning solutions, but this is the best one I've tried. By a long shot!
Printing was super easy and the parts are really well designed. The more you look, the more you appreciate the design. Pretty much every trick in the book was used to make these parts as strong as possible while making them look and feel like they weren't 3D printed. My friends and family were definitely impressed, even though all I did was press "print" :D
There are only a couple parts that need support material.
It's truely a joy to use! I opted for both the easyloader and self spooling catch tray, which makes scanning almost boring! There's pretty much no fiddling, all you have to do is rotate the little wheels until you've scanned your entire roll.
I purchased all the parts on AliExpress which worked fine. I did order the wrong belt for the 120 holder, but I guess that was my fault. Printing all the parts took a lot of time and filament, but assembly was very easy.
I talked to Jake via email, he's very responsive and is really just here to make scanning easier for all of us. I'm very happy with my purchase!
Printed the carrier nearly a month ago... tried sourcing all the hardware and decided to purchase the kit at the end. That was a good decision... made assembly go smoothly. Now on to scanning!
Printed perfectly on a Bambu Lab P1S using the suggested filaments, I purchased the hardware kit through Tone and everything assembled exactly as it should.
Great product and works extremely well. A couple of the instructions apparently were a little confusing according for the 3D printer person. As the end user, I'm more than happy and expect to get the 120 version next.
Great DIY option for film scanning. Much more affordable than alternatives. Printed on Creality CR-6 SE. eSUN PLA+
