+ | Our 3D Scanner began its life as an Arduino-based CiClop kit purchased from banggood or someplace like that sometime in late mid-late 2017. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It was assembled, but it was determined that the software for it was basically unusable. Combined with our move to IngenuityLabs, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fast forward to the stay-at-home pandemic of 2020. The scanner was retrieved from its box, and converted into a PiClop scanner running FreeLSS. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Modifications from base CiClop: | ||
+ | * Printed new camera base, and camera holder | ||
+ | * Also had to make a quick & dirty M2.5 tap in order to attach the camera. | ||
+ | * Replaced Arduino-based hardware with Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB) and 3D Scanner Hat | ||
+ | * Replaced Logitech USB camera with Raspberry Pi Camera (and an 18" camera cable) | ||
+ | * Printed new laser mounts | ||
+ | * Replaced threaded rod extending from old base to longer section appropriate for new base. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At this point, the scanner can produce an STL or .PLY that more-pr-less resembles the original object, but the object would not be directly printable from the scan. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Caveats: | ||
+ | -I suggest using just one laser right now. Results using two were not very good. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Workflow: | ||
+ | * Point Web browser at makerscan.local | ||
+ | * Calibration | ||
+ | * If you need to calibrate, put the calibration object fairly centered on the table, in the " | ||
+ | * Click on " | ||
+ | * Adjust camera exposure, if necessary. | ||
+ | * Place the item to be scanned on the turntable. | ||
+ | * Click on " | ||
+ | * For the 20-30 minutes it takes to run, try not to disturb it. | ||
+ | * After it finishes, you should be able to download the STL and/or PLY files. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Post-processing | ||
+ | As of right now, Meshlab or Meshmixer have been determined to be capable of doing the sort of fixes necessary for post-processing scans. The proper method for doing so hasn't been determined yet... | ||
