The instructions for the modded firmware say, "The menu only works while recording. In preview the stock firmware owns the buttons, so the mod can't use them there. The easy way: start a short throwaway recording, set everything up, stop, then capture for real. Settings are saved and survive a...

If you can only get the top or bottom of the image in focus, it would seem to me that your camera wasn't re-mounted precisely parallel to the film. You may want to try shimming or otherwise adjusting the camera mounting to bring it parallel. As for scratches, others have wrapped the film guide...

Here's what should happen when you insert the power cable (12V @ 1.5A), and press the Power button: 1) White power LED illuminates 2) Large center display lights up, shows the Kodak logo 3) The Capture/Menu/Settings menu is displayed 4) The motor turns on for 1 second You then insert an SD card...

(From https://nostalgicmedia.com/blogs/media-conversion/does-your-film-reel-have-sound) Does 8mm Film Have Sound? "8mm film, also known as Standard 8mm or Regular 8mm, was introduced as a cost-effective alternative to 16mm film. Initially, 8mm film was not designed to include sound during...

"Matead" indicated in his post 485 in the original thread that "The chip is in fact a LSP5523-R8A." Digikey in the US has them for 77 cents.

The STL file is in millimeters, and material choice is not critical. PETG should work nicely and should be inexpensive.

Since firmware changes aren't helping your button issue, it might be time to power down the unit, get out a screwdriver and open it up. But only if you feel comfortable doing that, of course. There's a chance that you have a poor connection involving the cable(s) that connect the button assembly...

I noticed your model number is RODREELSEU. Mine (in US) is just RODREELS without the EU. Is your unit a European one? If so, maybe that is the reason the firmware isn't working 100%. If you go way back to the first posts of this thread, I think the original Kodak versions of firmware were...

AFAIK Steve's lookup tool was copied from the Kodak tool and is 2 years old so it doesn't have all the recent serial numbers. I would try earlier Firmware B versions, or even C versions. It appears from discussions on here that even if you try to install the wrong version, you won't completely...

The cover is held in place by 6 tabs that click into slots in the face of the scanner. To get it off from the front, push up on the bottom of the cover to bend it and release the two bottom tabs. Rotate up carefully to release the side tabs, then fully remove it from the scanner. See pictures.

My reading (perhaps incorrectly) of his modifications are that he drilled/filed/shaped the original model. He said the STL needed to be modified, but didn't say that HE modified it. So get the drill bits and files out, campers!

People have reported that flashing the wrong version will not harm the unit. Since your serial starts with "C", and the latest units start with "H", I'd start with version "A" and see if that works for you. If not, go to version "B", then "C". OdanO's Post #496 has all 3 versions of 6.6...

Sure, but what makes the stepper motor stop at a particular position? The pin moving into the sensor and breaking the infrared beam maybe? Perhaps test this by adding some black electrical tape (or something that wouldn't allow infrared to pass through it) to the end of the pin to make it a...

Looks like you'll have to get creative. At this point, I'd remove the plastic flag/pin, drill out the holes in the bracket slightly oversize, enough to allow adjustment. Put it back together with some small lock washers under the screws. Adjust flag/pin right or left as needed. I hope there are...
