Scan-O-Tron Turntable v.2.0 for Full Body 3D Scanning

thingiverse

Human: A turntable made for supporting people's weight (I believe it holds up to 800 pounds when distributed evenly). Used with The Scan-O-Tron 3000 as a quick, affordable way to get high-quality full body scans that can be printed out in 3D. This new version replaces the Heavy Duty Lazy Susan for Full Body Scanning and has improved on it's belt-driven mechanism by changing it to a chain and sprocket drive powered by a worm gear motor. This makes the tabletop lock more solidly into place when people are on it. This design is used in my Scan-A-Rama 3D Portrait Studio (http://scanarama3d.com). ReconstructMe software can help you get the most out of your scans, but Skanect works well too. To assemble, please refer to the attached image series for steps. I have listed all the parts I used below: These include a plywood sheet (three quarters inch), car hubs (made for loads that put a lot of pressure on them) such as those found on the wheel hub assembly fit for BMW 525I and so forth, #25 electric scooter chain, and a sixteen tooth eight mm bore sprocket. You will also need to use the number ninety #25 chain rear sprocket, electric motor-12v DC Motor High Torque Turbo Reducer worm Geared reversible AC/DC Adapter for power. For controlling on/off operations with my turntable, I use a foot switch such as those found at Harbor Freight. Here are some other parts you'll need: A socket wrench chain breaker tool lag bolts washer and nut router to make holes To start making the scan platform I used in this build cut the 28 inch plywood sheet into different pieces that form a square of about that size and attach two round pieces (each 28" across), four more round ones of about 6.5 inches wide along with an oval shaped area, all of these put together they'll make your entire body turntable platform You can bolt down this setup onto something sturdy to be able to start putting weight on it but don't forget the small wooden board around which you attach motor power components; I recommend buying stuff that matches well so there are matching holes everywhere for screwing into. Lastly glue/screw everything tightly in place using lag bolts through corners for stability, install your turntable system onto its metal or wood stand which needs to have enough height clearance inside - about eight feet from ground level would be perfect if space permits it
