3D Scanner - Android Based

NO, this isn't Starship Enterprise, despite its resemblance. It's my take on a 3D Scanner, with a few extra components, an Android phone has all it needs to help you scan 3D an item of interest. Just follow the instructions! Highlights of this scanner include: small printing time, with only the disk taking a little more time no microcontroller or firmware required, just laser and motor The video of the owl can be found atAnother one of "Adolf the duck" isI would really appreciate if you posted some fotos and some scan results! Instructions: Assembly/Setup: print the parts prepare the rods insert M3 screws and nuts into the base mount the motor into the motor house put everything together connect the laser and the motor electrically. I used a 12V power adapter and an LM7805 to supply the laser adjust the laser (1. adjust lens for minimal laser line thickness, 2. adjust laser to be exactly vertical, 3. adjust laser to point exactly at the center of the disk) get Android app "scan3doid" from Google Playstore (make sure to use at least version 1.3, older versions are quite unstable) mount the Android device to the phone holder finish with the instructions in the Android App Some hints for successful 3D scanning: first trial is not always the best; try again with different settings to improve results carefully set up what the laser doesn't touch and the camera can't see won't be translated into the STL file Happy 3D scanning!
