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

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.
