3D scanner (photogrammetry assistant)

thingiverse

This is the enclosure for my 3D Scanner's controller: http://pulsar124.wikia.com/wiki/3D_Scanner The 3D Scanner slowly rotates a platform with the object to scan while regularly triggering the photocamera's shutter and optionally external flashes. It runs on Arduino Nano, which provides its foundation. A small display and a 4x4 keypad are integrated into the system, allowing users to modify parameters as needed. The controller is optimized for Canon DSLRs, utilizing the electronic shutter feature of Magic Lantern firmware. This means the mechanical shutter will not wear off due to frequent use. However, the design can be easily adapted for any other camera that allows shutter control via a wired connection. To create a 3D model of an object from multiple photos, photogrammetry software is required (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_photogrammetry_software for a comprehensive list). The controller was specifically designed for the PCB of my design. The relevant Gerber files can be found on the wikia page mentioned above. I produced the enclosure's two parts (top and bottom) using ABS plastic, without any support or brim/raft.
