Thought I'd post a quick update since I haven't had much to say in a while. My 3D printer arrived this week so I've been spending a lot of time studying up on the process before it got here and now setting up and fiddling with it.
So now starts the process of re-designing my scanner for automated manufacturing in some kind of kit form :)
1st steps are figuring out what to make the large flat side and top panels out of as I don't think printing those would be a good idea. Rest of the parts should be straight forward. More updates to come.
For now here's a timelapes of the 1st test pattern print making sure everything was set up right.
