Properly photographing a 3.5" floppy disk for archival is annoyingly complicated. The label has THREE sides!

I've already built an automated system to take a picture of the front of a disk, but really I need to take THREE photos if I want to get the whole thing.

That means either three cameras or I need to rotate the disk 90° and then 180°, which is going to really stress the limits of my mechanical engineering skills.

@foone clearly the solution is to only have 5¼" and 8" floppies so that they only have 2 sides max. hope this helps.

@foone is it the 1.1 missing mm from the imperial/metric conversion?
