TLDR

Film holder and quick release to reduce film scanning cycle time. Designed on SolidWorks and printed with FDM 3D printers.

Objectives

• Decrease cycle time of film scanning

• Improve repeatability of analysis by standardizing position of film.

• Features

• Minimum material conditions, reducing cost

• Interlocking parts

• Heat inserted threads

Summary

I developed a couple of parts to make film development easier. A film holder to flatten the film and block excess light to reduce glare, a quick release dock for the camera to slide onto my DIY stand.
