Wanted to thank you for putting this project together. I've been messing around with photogrammetry for a few years and it's great to see such a "complete" open-source hardware project!
Your English is quite good, and presentation is clear and thorough. The work you've done is good and (should be) very useful. Thank you for putting this project together.
Great machine! My OpenScan works fantastic! I took 200 photos of my item. Reguard 3D picked up 189 (20 min). The scan was amazing! I ordered the complete OpenScan Pi setup. I'm not kidding, the scan was almost as good as the photo!
Wow! It's really excellent project .... amazing. One question to the design: Would it make sense to have counterweight (german: Gegengewicht) to compensate the weight of the z-rotation stepper?
I've been considering building my own version for scanning heavier metal parts the image at the end gave me an idea for the layout, I'm thinking I might use nema's with planetary gears or just use larger steppers, maybe an orange pi and a custom web interface. I noticed it didn't take long for aliexpress to rip you off btw, they have a version on they're site at the moment although it doesn't use an rpi
At the bottom of this page, there are some larger versions which are totally compatible with both the arduino and pi-shield: en.openscan.eu/scanner Yeah, I am quite aware of the Aliexpress/He3D knock-off... I don't mind to much, as they have copied an earlier version of the electronics and even some earlier mistakes ^^ And I am not sure about their documentation. I already had several disappointed people contacting me for help..
@@zebedie2 "released"... I have published the files, but there is still some more work necessary, but I currently want to focus on the Mini. You might want to checkout the remixes of the large version on thingiverse. There have been other people working on it and running it successfully. :)

Hey guys I'm extremely lost on how to get my open scan mini up and running. I'm not very familiar with Raspberry pies I thought this would be more of a plug and play type of thing but apparently, it's not. If someone’s willing to help me get this going that would be fantastic. I have the machine assembled and that's as far as I can figure it out.
With the pi version do you always have to go through a web browser to use or can you connect some kind of LCD screen to it? Also does this work with other cameras outside the Pi camera, I have a sony a6500.
You could attach a monitor via hdmi and use the browser interface locally. There are many cameras that can be controlled via USB: raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenScanEu/OpenScan/master/supported_cameras and it would also be possible to modify an existing remote shutter control and connect it directly to the pi shield.
Short answer: the pi version :) Long answer: I prefer the pi version, as it makes it much easier to get decent and consistent images. Furthermore, with the new pi camera, I got results better then with most DSLRs I've tried. I am also working on an OpenCV Script, that will perform quasi-live image analysis and will give feedback on the image set. Furthermore, there might be optional cloud-computing available some time soon, where you can upload the whole photo-set and get a decent result within 30-60min... I could continue for quite some time, but you get the idea ;)
Thank you for your fast answer so if I have the arduino version I can still upgrade it to an pi version, because I will start with the arduino at first and then I will upgrade it to the pi version?
@@juliusbohm7224 Yes, you are absolutely right. The hardware is fully compatible and you would just need a different 3d printed part to mount the pi control unit.
It really depends on the object as it will get harder to fix larger objects on the tilting mechanism. And it will be harder to get proper lighting with larger objects (you would need some external lights e.g. softbox). I think 30cm is a good number
Do you mean running octoprint from the same sd card? I havent tried that yet. But you could easily prepare a second octoprint sd card and just swap those.
OpenScan thanks and sorry for the stupid questions i’m totally new to raspberry and 3d printing. My guess from your reply is that the Pi operating system is running from the SD card so I can just switch the cards back and forth with dedicated OS and apps ? Is that correct ?
@@stephanemeyer7640 Yes, you are absolutely right. Just create two SD cards with the dedicated images and then you can switch those at any point (as long as the device is powered off at that time ;) And no worries about any "stupid" questions, I have started working with the pi not even a year ago and had no prior experience too, so I had to ask many, many stupid questions...
OpenScan thank you so much for your answer and nice words. Beyond that I find your work absolutely mesmerizing and it motivates me to get into raspberry and 3D printing systems envers more. Keep up the excellent work !
1st: I love this proyect, you are genius.
2nd: You speak English better than the vast majority of British/American people.
Thank you! Your tutorial is very well laid out and concise. Your english is better than most Americans I know. 😊

Awesome!! Looking to build a rig to scan organs at our pathology dept in Canada.
Great Explenation! Can't wait to get my fingers on :-)
Many Thanks for making this OpenSource!
Thanks for your great build and information i will buy it from you👌
Great video even in english ;)
put the boards design to open build as well
Wow! It's really excellent project .... amazing. One question to the design: Would it make sense to have counterweight (german: Gegengewicht) to compensate the weight of the z-rotation stepper?
Yes, for heavier objects it makes sense to add some kind of counterweight. Without it, 0.8-1kg usually work fine
Wondeful!! I am looking forward for more videos
one video about image quality will be really, really good
Dankeschön
Amazing project, really want to get a kit to build this but need to do a bit more research, like how you would convert the images to a 3d file
I've been considering building my own version for scanning heavier metal parts

@@openscan_eu yes sorry I know it's not an official release or anything, but there's more there than I was expecting so thanks for that
@@zebedie2 No worries, I just wanted to lower the expectations, before people start this long prints ;)
5:55 prepare for a crowd of people for whom this didn't work :D
could you say why?
The soft ware I have is not as detailed, did you change everything around?
I really liked your application. Can I use this project to connect to my own scanner using SDK?
what spry do you use to avoid the reflectivity?
as cheap alternative you can try dryshampoo for hair. talcum powder may also work.
please post a detailed video, that how you installed node-red and all....

You're a genius, it's great, you motivate me to make it, but I want to know if it takes the real size once it's scanned? or do you have to rescale?

@@openscan_eu So this www.openscan.eu/product-page/raspberry-pi-shield is the extension kit, isn't it or am I wrong?
Yes it is :)
What would you say the size limits of this scanner would be?
It really depends on the object as it will get harder to fix larger objects on the tilting mechanism. And it will be harder to get proper lighting with larger objects (you would need some external lights e.g. softbox). I think 30cm is a good number
Get feature is not working for me, even with term accepted.
Edit: nevermind, you have to have auto update preview unchecked.
Sorry, this is a known issue and will be fixed with the next update very soon :)
The update is available and should fix this issue by turning auto-update off, when clicking "get features"
Great video
Any new updates?
Can you still use the Pi and the camera for octoprint ?
Do you mean running octoprint from the same sd card? I havent tried that yet. But you could easily prepare a second octoprint sd card and just swap those.
