NO, this is not Starship Enterprise even though It looks like.It is my interpretation of a 3d Scanner. With a few additionally parts, an android phone has all the capabilities to help you3D scanning an item of interest.Just follow the instructions!Highlights about this scanners are: small printing time, only the disk takes little more time No microcontroller and firmware needed, only laser and motorThe video of the owl can be found athttps://youtu.be/3iBqB1-8d1YAnother one of "Adolf the duck" ishttp://youtu.be/lmRgxYoPE90I would really appreciate if you posted some fotos and some scan results!InstructionsAssembly/Setup Print the parts prepare the rods insert the m3 screws and nuts into the base mount the motor into the motor house put everything together connect the laser and the motor electrically. I used a 12V power adapter and an LM7805 to supplpy the laser adjust the laser(1. adjust lens for minimal laser line thickness, 2 adjust laser to be exactly vertical, 3.) adjust laser to point exactly to center of dish) Get Android app "scan3doid" from the Google Playstore (make sure to use at least 1.3, older versions are quite unstable) Mount the Android Device to the phone holder Finish with the instructions in the Android AppSome hints for succesful 3D scanning First trial is not always the best. Retry with different settings to improve the result. Care for a good setup. What the laser does not touch, and the camera does not see, will not be translated to the STL FileHappy 3D scanning
Technical
-Smart Phone
-Scan3doid(app)
-red line laser (e.g. http://www.ebay.de/itm/281562839777)
- small rotating motor (http://www.ebay.de/itm/261549739071)
- 2 Aluminium square profile rods 10mm square - about 200mm and 300 mm length should be sufficient.
- 2 Aluminium round rods Diameter 8mm X 100 mm
- 2 M3x10 screws +_ 2 M3 nuts for inserting into the base
- A rubberband to mount the android phone
hi, im going to build it, but i dont know what to buy to conect the laser and the motor, and to what, the smartphone, or the computer. a little more detail about that part will be usefull.
thanks

Could you build this for me and what would the cost and timeframe be?
