Project Process
The 3D scanning setup includes a turntable, computer, cover, tripod, iPhone, broad light, large box, and a small box.
Turntable
-
Start by 3D printing the turntable.
-
Next, place a bearing between the base's walls. Repeat the steps for the other two small pieces.
-
Attach the motor to the turntable's base, fasten it down and then, place the widget on the motor.
-
Attach the wires from the motor to the motor driver board.
-
Tape the Arduino and motor driver board to the base.
-
Attach the power cable to the Arduino and the female-to-male USB extension.
-
Finally, connect the female-to-male USB to the computer to power the Arduino device. For the turntable to rotate, run the code on a computer.
Iphone
Download the app called Polycam, create a Polycam account, and sign up for a premium subscription.
Computer
Install Arduino ID and download given Arduino and Python code.
Tripod
Create marks on the tripod’s rotation control when the camera is at 90°, 70°, and 50°. Additionally, add a marking on the tripod’s central base 51 mm from the bottom. Set up the tripod at the given angles in the scanning process.
Background
Place the turntable in the box to provide a white background for the object scanning. Add the appropriate leg supports. The leg .stl files are in the turntable prints folder.
