Hammerhead Portable - Handheld Kinect 3D Scanner

thingiverse

The original intent behind the Kinect was for it to be stationary in front of a TV, not held in your hand while you move around. However, after starting to work with Kinect Fusion style 3D scanning - as seen on reconstructme.net - I found that carrying the device and pointing it at objects became a tedious task. This led me to conclude that the Kinect needed some sort of handle. When working outdoors, you might be equipped with a laptop and its battery but lack access to a standard 230VAC power outlet for charging your Kinect scanner, which requires a 12VDC connection. To address this limitation, I modified the grip to accommodate an additional 11.1V Li-Po battery, making it easier to use in remote locations. **Please be aware of the potential issues with this device:**
