Nonius Kappa CCD Paper model
One of the major diffractometer manufacturers of the 20th century, Enraf-Nonius, hired a designer to create a paper model of their Nonius Kappa CCD diffractometer. The model is now available free thanks to the permission from Bruker. If built with heavy stock paper (and 25-50 % larger than format A4) the model would look robust. Note that it has moving parts as well! If you build a model please share your photos with us. Two files contain all the information: Nonius Kappa CCD paper model and Nonius Kappa CCD paper model instructions.
