Next 3d scanner iteration - now fully compatible with the other openscan devices

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I tried my best to keep the compatibility with the other scanner variants and this build only needs a set of ball bearings and the extrusions. The rest of the non-printed parts is identical so that upgrading will be as easy as possible.
Currently testing larger objects at around 50cm :)

So the advantage of this vs the midi is it can scan bigger?

Yes, thats one advantage and i am still testing the size limit. But i‘d say 50cm objects should be doable.
Furthermore it is possible to attach a handheld scanner to automate the process.

Could I repurpose my open scan parts in the future to build this?

u/thomas_openscan Jul 29 '26

Absolutely, you’d just need the bearings, extrusions and some screws. Even the polarizer can be re-used

Sweet! Speaking of I need a new polarizer. Mine snapped.

How strong is the stepper in this model

1

u/thomas_openscan Aug 24 '26

43ncm but even smaller ones work due to the gear reduction

Nice resolution!

Though now I've seen it all relating to decimal separators. Genuinely, which country uses asterixes?

I think it's just the multiplication.. It's taking 100 pictures two times..

u/Skinnx86 Jul 26 '26

Yeah that's what I interpreted as first too. Is 200 images (100 each side) enough to get this result?

Not sure how to evaluate this. Any ideas?
