My 3rd Generation Scanner Build Thread

[rob]

Awesome! The revolution has begun!

This design looks so great, that I think this thread deserves to be revived!

Have you Daniel and Dario had a chance yet to work on the GPL license and perfect the design? I"d be really curious to know what improvements you were able to make.

We pretty much stopped where it was due to outside life pressures (just getting busy on other projects, really). It *is* a beautiful design, but I don't think it's for everyone. At this point, I need to make a new blog post that says people can actually use it, because that's how I feel and how it should be.

[le.gentleman]

I see. Do you think you will finish it eventually or is it just something you will probably not have the time for anymore?
What exactly remains to be done? and in terms of percentage - how far away are you from this goal?

Are you still in touch with Dario?

[daniel_reetz]

It works as-is, and the total artwork, schematics, etc have been linked earlier in the thread - I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "finish it" - can you help me understand a bit better?

I don't think this is the book scanner for everyone, since this time I've made three different designs (check the "waterjet" thread as well as the "haiti" thread) and they've all improved on the things I learned here. I have an announcement to make soon regarding some future projects with an outside entity. No promises on anything, unfortunately, other than that I'm going to be spending a lot more time here, soon.
