Getting Started

​

3D printable files & Build instruction

​

Download the 3d printable files here (make sure to read the description for print settings and some more details)

There is a four part video series on this scanner (in German, but auto-translated subtitles seem to work good enough):

​

• Part 1 - Building the 3D Scanner

• Part 2 - Usage (Arduino Shield-Version)

• Part 3 - User Interface and Arduino Shield Controller)

• Part 4 - Programming (Arduino Sketch)​

​

But, to be honest, I would prefer the written manual:

If you are using the Pi Shield v1 with this scanner, please read its documentation and download the 3d printable controller board mount here:
