Built a scanner? Started to build a scanner? Record your progress here. Doesn't need to be a whole scanner - triggers and other parts are fine. Commercial scanners are fine too.

These look like some great additions looking forward to the file release, I have an order on hold at a shop to have the files cut out as soon as they are released. Have you considered posting a short video to give a tour of your model when it's done. your descriptions of what you have improved over the first model are very detailed but I think it would be nice to actually see them to take in all the improvements you have made over the original.

How is progress coming along, will there be any new pics of all the new improvements you did together with the complete build? When can we expect the files to be released?

Gary,
A couple of comments:

1) Thank you very, very much. Sure looks like you've moved the rock ahead a good bit, and I can't wait to try this out on our machine. Earliest possible time would be this weekend.

2) Of course a huge thank you to Daniel. What a terrific design.

3) Thanks also to everyone who has been working on this. At some point we ought to have a version engraved with the names of everyone who's contributed somewhere on the inside.

Many thanks, Charles Morrill

GaryK can the cutouts in your design for the two floodlights also be used for 2 led floodlights? I would like to use the setup you described but just use 2 led floodlights instead. Is there a reflector and led light you can recommend that will work for the cuts in your build?

Here are the dimensions that are posted on eBay from some lights I ran across that are the round floodlight style
Dimension: about 3.15 in x 2.95 in x 2.95 in (8.0 cm x 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm)

And here is the eBay link so you can haven idea how it looks

http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Power-Wate ... 4583wt_922

do you think this will work with your build?

Or even the style Dan originally used in his build which I already purchased one of

 Dimension  4.488" (W) x 3.386" (H) x 3.465" (D)

And here is the link for that

http://www.ebay.com/itm/110V-240V-AC-10 ... 0585674539

Do you think these will be to much light for the camera or will it be better for image quality?


Do you know if the reflector you intended to use can be used with led lights as well?
