PoPprint Ciclop lasing 3d scanner Open Source DIY 3D Scanner for 3d printer

Well the build was ok but using and getting a decent 3d scan out of the machine has been a nightmare. I still as yet unable to get anything that resembles the object I have scanned. if I had more money I would buy a more expensive machine. will need more time fine tuning the unit and hopefully get a better scan out of it. but for now its in the cupboard.

Waste of money, don't know how someone here can give it 3 stars and say he or she cannot scan anything out of it. The build is from cheap 3D printed plastic with a Logitech web camera stuck in the middle with two fixed lasers either side to scan image. Can be hard to calibrate with a checker board at first to get things going and the object has to be round with NO GAPS like a plastic jar container therefore if you want to scan anything like a figure with stretched out arms and legs it will get confused producing a few pixelated un sync dot areas. The objects surface and the room lighting is important for the laser to pick up and recognise the object surface. Overall you will be pissed off if you pay more than £10 pounds for it because its scanning capabilities it very limited and results are blotchy or nothing at all and be sitting around taking up space doing nothing. If in the future it software gets better to correct what I have said I would avoid purchase. I brought mine from EBay for £98 less than priced here on Amazon at £135. If your going to buy one might it be best to buy from Amazon since at least you might get you money back in regards
