laser mount IKEA hack for lack table 3d scanner

thingiverse

This clever mount for your laser makes scanning 3D objects an absolute breeze. You could pair it seamlessly with the DAVID software. I opted to craft my own version using Processing and created a compact driver for Arduino, which triggers the turntable's motor, activates the laser, and orchestrates smooth rotation until it reaches a mercury switch. This sturdy bracket attaches neatly to your LACK IKEA table leg, allowing you to effortlessly convert your plain table into an efficient laser 3D scanner. Instructions Firstly, make sure you're printing solid PLA. When it comes to precision, the tolerances are as follows: bearings have a .25 mm allowance. You can easily adjust this to allow for scraping if needed. The attached SCAD file lets you explore and experiment with different dimensions to your heart's content. Perhaps, as a next step, you could consider incorporating a lever that integrates a servo motor to enhance its functionality further.
