I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks! Is there anywhere to get the electronics in the USA?
this kit will probably be on Amazon… but you’ll have to wait some months. In any case, you could substitute these electronics by standard 3d printer electronics by tuning the firmware (firmware will be released soon)
Congrats on an amazing contribution to the community.
@Alberto_Valero_Gomez
I’m happy to wait for you to start selling it. I like to support those who support the community. Thanks!
@Carlton_Dodd adapting firmware to RAMPS or any similar board will be also a good support 
as soon as software and firmware are released it would be great that the community starts building their own copies and start contributing, that will make that final product on sale will be even better to “non-developers”. A product from the community to the normal people of the streets
It has been amazing that after one day being public some people has contributed porting Inventor parts to FreeCad… that is open hardware square…open source with open tools!!
Anyway, electronic boards sources are also here: https://github.com/bq/zum
Sorry, I really like this, but where’s actually the diffrence to this one: http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/fabscan
Just want to know, cause i was thinking of using that project?
@Jesus_Arroyo , he is the developer.
Hi @Markus_Osmers_mo22 ,
At the beginning we studied different open source scanners but at the end I decided to begin a new one from scratch.
Fabscan is an specific solution to the problem of 3D Scanning, and we want to contribute with a more general RepRap style scanner in order to create a good start point to new evolutions in this area.
Briefly. In hardware, Ciclop is reprap based with printable parts, also has a bigger surface with a bearing to allow scanning bigger and heavy objects. Electronics has to control up to 2 motors, up to 4 lasers and also LDR sensors. Firmware is G-code based and support speed and acceleration control to the stepper motor. But the most relevant difference is the software. Fabscan scan model is based on 2D line triangulation with some hardcoded parameters. Horus (our software) provides some general calibration processes that computes lasers and platform position and orientation, whatever they are. Also it has a real time point cloud visualization and an interface for the adjustment of a lots of parameters related to the camera, image processing, point cloud generation, etc and all in high-level Python language.
This month all sources will be published and you can access, study, modify, improve and evolve all the parts of this project.
I attach also the presentation post of the project: http://diwo.bq.com/en/presentacion-ciclop-horus/
Regards!
Thanks for getting back with this answer @Jesus_Arroyo
Of course I will take a look at your solution.
Keep on, stay this way at bq. Great project, great people. Thumbs up!
