I’m building a PhotoBox

Sat, Apr 29, 2017 1-minute read

Finally I put up some time and started building a “PhotoBox” / “PhotoBooth”. Many thanks to my brother-in-law who’s skilled enough in handcraft to make this project possible without falling apart right away 🙂

The main goal of this project is to come up with an actual use case for one of my old Nikon D2x-cameras, that otherwise wouldn’t leave the shelf at all. Everything is build around the amazing SLR Booth android app – I’ve added a little Raspberry Pi spice (people using the booth should be able to download their pictures to their mobile phones for ~ 5 minutes after they’ve taken a picture).

Once I’m done with it and everything works as I expect it to, I’ll be sharing building instructions and the source-code for the RPi extension 🙂

What is the PhotoBox made of?

  • Wood
  • Screws
  • Metal Coupler Pieces
  • Nikon D2x
  • Pixel C
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Canon Selphy Printer
  • Cables
