Shapespeare's Infinite Resolution 3D Scanner - Printed Parts and Software Remix

myminifactory

Whitney Potter, also known as Shapespeare and cohost of the 3D Printing Today Podcast, has developed an Arduino-driven photo capture system for photogrammetry. She has shared a step-by-step guide on how to build your own system through Instructables. This post provides additional resources for building and customizing the system. Key components include: * A case for the Arduino Mega 2560 board * A clip to mount the EasyStepper driver board * A rotating platform for use with Nema 14 or 17 motors * Modified software The following parts are required: * Arduino Mega 2560 * Sainsmart LCD display * EasyDriver Stepper Motor Driver * NEMA 14 or 17 motor * 3 or more 623ZZ bearings * M3 screws Assembly and usage instructions for each component are provided below. Case Assembly: The case is designed to fold around the LCD and Arduino. It is held together by two short flathead M3 screws. The buttons on the case need to be loose, so they can be operated independently. If they are too tight, try scaling them down. Platform Assembly: The motor platform comes in Nema 14 and Nema 17 sizes. The base and bearings are optional but recommended for heavy objects. It has a dozen bearing mount points for different configurations. Software: Whitney Potter modified the scanner firmware to include new features. These changes include: * Saving the number of steps to EEPROM when starting a scan * Swapping controls (UP/DOWN for rotation without trigger, RIGHT to change number of steps) * Displaying the amount of rotation in degrees * Tweaks to display text * Fixing issues with postWait state not reached and display refresh/crawl issue * Refactoring and reformatting Filaments used for 3D printing: * Atomic Filament Ruby Red PETG * Metallic Silver PLA * Pearlescent Blue PLA * Impact Resistant White PLA
