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, it was packed into a box and forgotten for a while.

It's just enough to format things for K40 Whisperer. You can possibly use other design software to do your design, as long as it can export to an SVG. Because K40 Whisperer is pretty tightly integrated with Inkscape's SVG files, you may need to open and re-save in Inkscape to get certain properties right.
