Looks like one has to gather all the parts and make their own.
In the video I see a 2x4 propping up one end along with other assorted lumber. 
One should also use a large waste can under the photo chute so you don't end up having to pick up a big pile of loose floppies.
I must have a couple of thousand floppies too, but I am going to keep my collection intact instead of trashing them like it appears this guy is going to do afterwards.

| Very cool! I think now the equipment has been used to archive his collection, he should loan it out so we can all take turns doing ours.
Me first! |

No, but the floppies trying handling gently sometimes are break, with this machine that in&out the floppies, humm, it is to think. |

That was my main complaint too. I get the impression that the builder does not care about the future of his floppies. I would not want to trash my disks. I'd drop them onto a cushion of some sort. But the cushion would have to be moving or the floppies would end up piled up on top of each other again. Then, after going to all the trouble of making this automation I would not want to sit there and catch each floppy as it was dropped.
I am sure that there is a solution to this problem, but since I am not planning of making my own version I am not going to waste my time thinking about it.

| Well, sometimes you just gotta move on.
Saying that I realize I need to clean out some things myself, because after my father died and I took over the family farm (well, tiny one) to where I am now I ended with all my own things (computers, books, comics and plastic scale models) AND my fathers things (mostly horse and farm related).
So I'm at a point where I need to stake out my course and throw away something. Luckily I don't have thousands of floppies, though. Still, our guest house is currently a right mess. Actually, now that I think about it, a simple organising session would go halfway towards clearing up the mess |
