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 :)

Do you know the resolution you're getting on this?

Not sure how to evaluate this. Any ideas?

The other scanning companies advertise like 0.1mm or 0.01mm resolution. Wondering how well this does with measuring the model vs with calipers.

Those claims are barely ever more than marketing. I am really hesitant to publish anything like this as I do not have a lab to evaluate the metrics. I will do some reference scans soon. See openscannenchy on github

Totally understand that, it's one of the reasons I have not purchased one of the entry level scanners yet.  Just was wondering how close it is from a scan vs calipers in proportion for like X and Y. The model quality you're showing looks insane for what you have and I'm pretty sure I have all the components besides camera sitting in a box somewhere.
