Copy stand

Getting tired of going to the copy shop?

Is your old scanner really slow??

Is your document too big??

Do you have a laser printer?

Than this instructable is for you!

Step 1 Materials

Old enlarger stand: from the optical part you can build a Microscope

steel brackets or strips (2-3 mm)

piece of wood

3 discarded halogen spots +transformer

some screws and one camera thread screw (from old tripod or so).

Of course your digital camera.

If you have an inkjet printer, it will still be expensive to do regular copying; with a laser printer not so.

This would also make for a great camera set up for filming animation cells or pencil tests.

Looking at the fantastic new instructable about a book copy stand http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-High-Speed-Book-Scanner-from-Trash-and-Cheap-C/, I know which way to look for improvement! When I have more time and the weather is less nice, Ill come up with an improved design....

I've been considering this with an old enlarger for a long time, But there are other silly applications which beckon from the clever useful one...
