Last week, Ian and Winnie got all heroic with some tools, wood and plexi. The result is a couple sweet prototypes, which we’ll be sending to the Decapod folks so they can hack software to process BookLib images.
In other news, I put a prototype design of the camera mount on thingiverse. Ian’s original washer-and-bolt design was a little janky, and when we get the parameters right on the mount, we should be able to print them quite cheaply.
We’re moving quite quickly towards a shippable kit. The cradle design is stable. We have dimensions for the plexi and the cube. We’re down to exploring two basic design paths (bent plexi vs. two flat sheets). Everything else about the prototype is in the detail stage.
There are photos of the wood hackery around, and I’ll try to post some soon.
