This is a great idea! The camera mounting surface looks sturdy with the double fold underneath.

If you do switch over to an updated cut-out design I would suggest using a different paper than the current paper being used. When we built the countertop spectrometers the paper was white not black in the inferred range causing problems to occur with capturing data.

Definitely true; and we've spend a lot of time sourcing better paper for the next revision. don't worry!
