They're from Accutrace (http://www.pcb4u.com/). Ten double-sided PCB's with silk screen and solder mask for $30, manufactured here in the USA. I received them a little over a week after I placed the order. Hard to beat that.
That looks great I definitely want to make this Thanks for your great work
Great job I want to build this so much
And then there were two......
This prototype improves on the original design in a number of ways. All of the electronics are integrated into the frame, the Raspberry Pi has a proper case, the camera cable is embedded in a cable carrier, most of the holes have been redesigned to hold the nut without the need of a wrench which greatly simplifies assembly, it's using the Raspberry Pi B+ now, the laser arms have a little clip to hold the wires, a front plate has been added to the main body, most of the screws are now counter sunk, i've designed a real PCB instead of perf board, and the table uses a standard motor mount now. Not to mention a ton of software improvements.
wow, how much?
wow, how much?
The parts for this particular build are in the ~$150 range.
I took it to work the other day and did a scan of a coworkers coffee mug. I then printed it on my Solidoodle at 0.3mm layer height. It was a quick scan and a quick print that I didn't take any time to cleanup or fine tune the settings but it turned out pretty neat.
The printed results...
The raw point cloud off the scanner.
The raw mesh off the scanner.
After vertex colors are transferred to the mesh....
After Poisson reconstruction....
I then flattened the bottom in Blender so that it would have a solid print surface.
And the printed result...
how is that a mug? not bad for quick scan though. so do you sell the parts kit? or have a shopping list for parts and stl files.
how do you align lasers and camera? also is there 2 levels of camera height positions for best definition like12+ degrees at standard angle then 12+ degrees at steeper angle
with lasers especially blue lasers shouldnt this have a eye protective plastic screen around it?

Currently, most of the alignment is manual. You tell the software the vertical distance of the camera from the turn table and then use the calibration item to center the camera and position it so that it is looking straight ahead and not tilted. Once the camera position is established, the software can automatically detect the horizontal position of the lasers by turning them on and calculating the angle between the center camera line and the laser line. However the lasers need to manually be rotated so that the laser line plane is vertical and passes through the center of the turn table. Since it's a plane, the vertical position of the lasers doesn't matter.
There is only a single camera height. If you want an additional camera height scan and the object is small enough, it can be raised by putting a book or something underneath it and scanning again.

The lases I've been using are low power consumer grade lasers. The one I use most often is a red 2mW laser. I have a 5mW blue laser but I haven't performed a scan with it yet.

I was just thinking how 123Design capture app works using 15 increments around an object from streight and 15 more from above angled down 30-45 degrees at object that way it not only gets better global scan but also can see things like hollow openings on a mug or shoe etc.
are you going to sell a kit or ?

I will be uploading the source code to github sometime over the next few days and then I will be looking into selling it as a "Print your own" kit. It would include everything (Raspberry Pi, camera, formatted SD card, assembled mainboard, regulators, lasers, cables, motor, motor mount, nuts, screws, washers, feet, power plug, power adapter) except for the plastic parts.

so everything needed to print your own and assemble then. cool. count me in
oh one more question. can an SD2 with 6x6 bed print the parts?

Yup, that's what I printed it with.
Hey guys, I've just released the source code for the scanner on Github under a GPL license. I've also decided to name the software FreeLSS and have created a website for it.
Hi all, first post, awesome job hairu!. thanks to share!
i'll try to do your 3d scanner with my ultimaker, please can you make available printable hardware and the electronic design files.
thanks again for your work!
This is awesome!
ok think I found all the software maybe. but no STL files yet huh?
oh and its cloud based still? thought it was stand alone use? cloud is insecure for retaining privacy on scans plus if cloud goes poof so do files

It's completely stand-alone. All of the software runs right on the raspberry pi. There is no cloud component. The web browser is used to communicate directly with the raspberry pi (similar to how you connect to a home media server or administrate a wifi access point).
I will post the electronic design files tomorrow, along with basic instructions. The STL files will be soon to follow. Do you guys think thingiverse is the best place for them?
I'll be in for a kit as well.
Awesome job!
