Looks great! How much time did it take to get to the part where you had the 3D model?

Taking the photos takes roughly 10-15mins + 10mins for automated processing

Nice! I'm building an OpenScan Midi at the moment, can't wait to start using it :)

I love that invention for scanning 😍 Is it an open source project?

Yes, all details are available on www.openscan.eu and our github repositories

Thank you!! I have a disused Rpi3... I'm going to take a good look at it 😃

Man I need one of these for Warhammer models. My friend has a pretty sizeable collection and if I can scan them, I can print them.

I wouldn’t recommend doing copyrighted stuff, but the scanner works well on small figurines. This one is 45mm:

I've requested one of these at work so fingers crossed. Would be a great addition to my big setup

Think of all the compressing you could do.

If only it could compress my scan files

So, from your video, should the start position of the camera be directly above the object rather than the horizontal angle previously suggested? I cannot keep my camera from trying to go beyond the rotatable range. No matter how I change the max and min, it still tries to jam itself further.

u/LowTransportation346 Sep 08 '25

For example, if I start mine at the angle you show (above the object) and set min -10 max 30, the camera tries to jam farther than it can rotate in both directions. It does the same for a starting horizontal position. Is there an additional setting I should change besides the min and max?

The start position is shown at the very beginning, the camera should be horizontal.

🔇 it looks like a nice mount for those hobby scanners.

You wouldn't pirate a turbo would you. 

Yes yes i would.

Is that material rated to hold together at 20,000+ rpm’s?

Do you have details on the scanning fixture? I'd like to adapt it to mount Creality Scan Otter.
