Lasercut photobooth flexbox polaroid instagram by skrubis

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Here are the design files for a simple flexbox photobooth box and a podest for the button.
I used canon 500D as the camera, it sits on a platform inside, secured with a tripod screw that I think I printed off of thingiverse. I incorporated a cut up floodlight for the flashlight. I basically cut off the rear side of the cheapest floodlight with a dremel to make a hole for the 500D built in flash to shine through. The cutouts on the front side have sandpaper matte acrylic, edge lit by LEDs. All the thing is controlled with an arduino mini pro chinese clone put on a breadbord just controlling a few fets to turn on or off the various countdown or smile LEDs as well as to trigger the camera via the remote 2.5mm jack. I disassembled a chinese canon battery to fit inside a adjustable dc regulator, thus eliminating the need to change or charge the battery for the camera. There's a switch on the side with two RCA connectors for both the button podest as well as the dc power in.
Note that these files are laid out on sheets for 100w 600x900mm co2 laser cutter.
I used both 4mm as well as 6mm MDF as the materials. Please check which files are for which thicknesses. Although I nailed everything basically with the first try there were some small problems with the files, so be diligent and check everything before cutting. This project was a quick less than 24 hour build, so take these files as-is with no guarantees.
Almost forgot to mention- a lot of hot glue necessary.
