General My 3D Scanner(Includes Design Files And Schematics)

[Fierce Waffle 27]

This project is a work in progress and I plan on updating the files frequently. 

 

I have currently [partially] designed the laser cut files for the housing. Here is a current parts list that I have collected for this scanner : 

 

EasyDriver Stepper Motor Driver ($14.95) - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10267

10k Ohm Rotary Potentiometer ($0.95) - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9939

Wall Adapter Power Supply 12VDC 600mA ($5.95) - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9442

Stepper Motor with Cable ($14.95) - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9238

Arduino Uno R3 ($29.95) - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11021

Fixed Laser Mounting Stand($4.95) - http://www.adafruit.com/products/1094

Line Laser Diode - 5mW 650nm Red ($8.95) - http://www.adafruit.com/products/1057

Total Cost - $80.65 vs cost of Makerbot Digitizer $1,400

 

Here is the dropbox folder for the laser cut housing files(almost done), partial schematics, and the Arduino sketch to be controlled by DAVID-Laser Scanner :

I've been needing to build a scanning rig for a while, got all the bits n bobs but no proper design. I'll check it out.

Yeah, I know, I use Core i7s for all of my hack projects and program them using hex and ladders.

Arduinos are the fucking bomb, don't start dising hardware now or you are going to start a war you WILL not win.

I misread the title I thought you were talking about a 3D Printer. Those things are pricey.

I got my flash forge creator for $1200. Dual extruders and a pretty big build platform. Love it

Eww, I got a tripple head Bfb 3000 Plus for £900. Over priced much? (Pre-assembled)

Eh. You think mine is overpriced, look the the latest Makerbot.

Don't ever go there. Bad place. VERY BAD.
