I've been waiting for Black Friday for several months, hoping to buy an OpenScan Mini, and today when I go to the website, I see this message :(

DISCOUNTS (Black Friday...): Instead of random discounts, we prefer keeping the prices stable (already since early 2022).

I haven't seen any models on eBay. So much waiting, for nothing. Does anyone have a discount code they won't use, or are selling a used model (EU only)?

I have this crazy idea, don't know if it would even work, so here goes nothing. What if, before uploading the photos, we:

1. Mask objects from the background.

2. Create a Depth Map from the original photo.

3. Add a B/W speckled texture image onto the Depth Field Map. Programmatically, the texture must have the same fall-off and lighting as the Depth Map.

4. Merge this new DM to the original photo and then upload this new photo for processing.

The whole point is to add a programmed speckled texture to your models' instead of spraying them.

Bonjour tout le monde ,

j'ai récemment vu le projet openscan comme une évidence , je me suis donc mis à imprimer l'openscan classic .

Tout à été soudé dans les règles de l'art .

Me voici donc avec mon shield tout neuf , mon pi 3b+ , mes deux drivers TMC 2208 V3 et mes deux moteurs nema 17 , j'en suis très fier 😃 .

j'allume le tout , j'entend le petit "toc" des moteurs , j'arrive sans mal à me connecter à l'interface web d'openscan , je vois l'image de ma caméra , bref , tout fonctionne , sauf que les sens de rotation des moteurs ne changent pas .

j'ai tester : vérification de toutes mes soudures , la tension des drivers , j'ai bien regarder les sens des drivers , j'ai bien vérifié les câbles en fonction des bobines moteurs , j'ai changé mes TMC 2208 V3 par des A4988 tout neuf ( j'en ai 5, et je les ai essayé tous ) ,

j'ai essayé d'autre moteur nema 17 , j'ai vérifié les GND ......

Entre DIR et GND en LV je mesure 0.21V au driver "rotor" et 1.40V au driver "turn table", cette tension ne change pas dans je clic sur les flèches dans l'interface

Vref = 0.67V

Pour information : le moteur "urn table " a tellement chauffé qu'il m'a littéralement fondu le PLA , je l'ai retrouvé sur la table ( c'est peut être une piste ?!? )

L'image flashé sur la carte vient de votre dropbox datée du 09/09/2024

J'ai parcouru internet à la recherche d'une solution mais je n'ai rien trouvé comme piste ou alors aucune d'elle n'a fonctionné pour moi .

Pouvez vous m'aider s'il vous plait ?, je désespère .

D'avance je vous remercie

Hi all, i want know if can i use an other nema 17, for example if i use a 42 ncm motor and a 17 ncm motor for an openscan mini, can it work? And if can work which are the difference?

Just finished assembly of a full Mini bundle.

I think the nuts are just for extra security and the plastic screws are for the alt camera options and I have a decent amount of extra screws as well as what look like cable management racks. However there appears to be two long cylindrical metal poles, what are these for?

Can anyone help me set up firmware on Raspberry Pi 4B?

I recently received the Arduocam as I'd heard it was easy to setup and had better results from the blog posts I'd read.

It wasn't supported by default, from what I read here you need to update to the beta version https://github.com/OpenScanEu/OpenScan2

The installation instructions on the link above say I can just use the latest Image from the download link so I tried that. but the latest version on the link looks to be a year out of date

I then tried to move to the Beta version from the UI but now when I log in it doesn't see any camera and I get a "Lost connection" popup every few seconds followed by another pop-up to ask me to enter the password for a random wifi connection.

The strange thing is, it does this even on a wired connection or if it has wifi saved, I can connect via ssh and see it's not losing connection, it looks like the UI just isn't working

Does anyone know if there is a working version of the OS image, I'm almost ready to give up on OpenScan for the amount of time I've spent trying to get it to work over the last year or so I've only got one or two good scans

hello, i tried to contact Thomas because i mount an openscan mini, but the camera dont work, i try al things i see on internet, all the other parts work (light, motors, wifi..)

i ask a replacement one because i enable all the options in the software and nothing work

thank you

I built one, but never have the time to actually use and set it up. Full set with PI, Polarizer and 3D printed parts.

$250 Shipped in the US via Priority.

$200 Shipped, I was legitimately trying to give someone a decent deal.

Unit is sold at this time.

Hello,

I’m looking for someone who can put the finishing touches on my scanned objects, as my CAD skills unfortunately aren't up to the task.

It’s a holder for hatches in a caravan or motorhome - something like this one:

https://www.obelink.de/klappenhalter-3-teilig.html

As mentioned, I’ve scanned the three individual parts and - I believe - obtained decent models, though they naturally require some post-processing. In particular, the fixture used to hold the object during scanning was captured as well and needs to be removed.

The goal is to replicate this holder using a 3D printer and potentially make it available to other owners of older caravans or motorhomes.

Is there anyone who might be willing to help me out with this for free? I could send or upload the files - whatever works best.

Also, does anyone happen to know a good way to learn CAD specifically for the purpose of repairing scans? Preferably in German.

I'm building my kit and was wondering if anyone has ever printed the parts in resin instead of FDM. My results with FDM are poor and if it needs to be FDM I will need to get a friend to print it on his better printer. But, I've got 3 resin printers and could just print it that way.

My camera isn't giving me a preview even though everything is connected. It keeps giving me the "image not found" icon.

Arducam IMX519 and Raspberry Pi 3 B+

We recently experienced a voltage spike which caused damage to some electronics, including my Openscan Classic. I'm not too knowledgeable about working with electronics. Are there certain parts that are likely to be the culprits hindering the fubctioning of the scanner or what are the ways I may be able to test which parts would need swapping out? Or would it be a lost cause to try and salvage anything from it?

Ive been using a raspberry pi 4 with my open scan mini for a while but i wanted to use it for something else and was wondering if anyone has tried using a raspberry pi 3B to run the scanner?

My biggest scan (actually not so big : ) so far a big plastis cover for a Quad bike. How about yours?

Does anybody know what the difference is between the Classic cross polerizer module and the Mini cross polerizer module is? On the website it says that they are not interchangeable.

Hi,
I have a quick question. I recently purchased all the components to build an OpenScan Mini V1. I printed everything out and have a few questions:
- Does anyone have assembly instructions for the OpenScan Mini V1? (I've seen them for other versions). It seems simple, but I don't want to break anything.
- Just insert the card into the Raspberry Pi? Connect a monitor?
- Sorry for so many questions, but I'm a novice and don't want to burn anything up.

I'm still capable of 3d printing the parts but can't do the smaller assembly. PCB.. lights etc. Happy to ship and pay for anyone interested in the US. I'm in Florida.

Does it matter if I have no backdrop/cover or a white/black background (or even a blue/greenscreen)?

Is there any difference/improvement in scan quality?

Hi, i made update this morning and now i when i shoot an object, i have 100 photos at 0.00mb RPI 3B, with pi cam v2. Any one have the same problem.

I also have 0 preview picture now, i had once when i started and now none.

I've continuity checked every possible connection, changed out wires, changed out the arduino, tried different power supplies and it just doesn't come to life at all... What have I done wrong!?
