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 this does not solve the out of focus edge problem. One solution is to have the cilinder radius be double the floppy height. This way the edge is exactly at the center, so when you rotate, the subject is always at the same distance from the camera
