Remember that old cameras on which you cannot preview the picture you've just made? Cameras that can't shoot more than 36 pictures in a row, and those pictures are on film which needs to be processed with chemistry? OpenAutoLab allows to automatically process those films at home. What's done: Two prototypes are built and tested by developing lots of films. All necessary 3d-printed parts and electronic schematics as well as source code are published. Most of build and usage instructions are written and published. A short video introduction is cut and published. What I will update soon: Missing pictures from build instructions. Full length video of building the machine. Full length video of using the machine. What needs to be done: Public testing. Can't wait when someone else builds this thing.
