I used SBR rails + stepper motors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmRHTausFls&t=0s
Daniel used....I forget! Here's his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXy7RJwIBAo
Currently, I just camera-scan 8x10. I use a manual slide system. I built a platform with two guide rails. I made a light box/negative stage using PVC boards. The negative carrier just slides between the rails.

These all sound like fantastic ideas - thank you! I look forward to watching the youtube videos and hope to see some other pictures of people's setups some time.
As always, thank you all for your insight!

Lists for $1203 for the basic system-- the problem is, the system on their website looks nothing like the one in the video.
Also-- I work with 3D printers a fair amount, so I'm familiar with what a couple meters of extruded aluminum, some wheels, steppers and electronics cost. There's a fair amount of markup in that $1200.
One of my side projects I need to get back to is converting a cheap 3018 CNC rig into a negative-scanning platform.
