3D scanner (photogrammetry assistant)

thingiverse

This is the enclosure for my 3D Scanner's controller: http://pulsar124.wikia.com/wiki/3D_Scanner The 3D Scanner slowly rotates a platform with the object to scan while regularly triggering the photocamera's shutter and optionally external flashes. It is based on Arduino Nano. It has a small display and a 4x4 keypad allowing you to modify the parameters. It is optimized for Canon DSLRs (making use of the electronic shutter feature of Magic Lantern firmware - meaning the mechanical shutter will not wear off) but can be easily adopted for any other camera which shutter can be triggered from a wired controller. One still needs photogrammetry software to make a 3D model of your object from a bunch of photos (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_photogrammetry_software for a comprehensive list). The controller is specifically designed for the PCB of my design. (The PCB Gerbers files are provided on the wikia page above.) I printed the two parts (top and bottom) in ABS, with no support or brim/raft.
