Openscan Mini Simple Background and Toothpick Object Holder

thingiverse

A really simple remix of OpenScan Mini Background Dome by ashckeys: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4587217 The orb was waaaay too big to print on my printer, so I wanted to make something smaller and simpler, while reusing the mounts from it. This is just a big C- shaped background for the OpenScan Mini 3d scanner. Just print it, cut out some colored EVA foam of your choice and attach it with hot glue or velcro and boom. Instant background to help isolate and mask your object to be scanned. About 140mm of material widthwise is enough to cover most of the OpenScan Mini's camera range, and a bit more than that would get full coverage. Lengthwise it takes about 270-275mm of material to cover the background, and you can always add a bit more if needed. This will not obscure the ring lights or camera at all. =) I recommend printing this on it's side with supports for best results. Bonus tip: EVA foam also makes great feet for keeping the OpenScan Mini from sliding around. This is what I used: https://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Basic-Crafts/Craft-Foam/Foam-Sheet---12-x-18/p/28626 I've also made a pair of simple object holders with a hole in the top large enough for toothpicks to be used (about 2mm or so). The bottom hole is keyed (D-shaped hole to fit the stepper motor shaft.) and a little oversized to ensure a good fit instead of an impossibly tight fit. The regular holder is to help center small objects. The longer object holder is to help center even smaller objects, =D I'm sure everyone can figure out the rest, please feel free to improve upon this design!!!! Enjoy!!!
