I have an Arduino driver board and I wanted to print a turntable so that I could scan objects. I decided that my first "real" print would be a base and table for a stepper motor so I could scan http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:37222This isn't all. I need to design a better base, make a way to assemble …
Printrbot PLUS Notes
Build notes aplenty the biggest thing to remember is that when you are building the video switches from overhead front to the photos in the instructions being behind to the side. So if you're spatially oriented/aware like I am this can prove to be very disorienting. I made a mistake on step five or six …
First homebuilt 3d printer
After a lot of research over the last year (and a lot of saving) my Printrbot PLUS will be at my house on Monday. I'm entirely satisfied with my purchase as it will be at my house within 10 days of ordering. So, where do I go from there? Well, I've decided that after a …
DAVID Scanner
I normally use a Mac; because of that I've not looked very hard for software to scan in 3D with. I do have Parallels installed, however, there was a problem using a PS3 camera with DAVID. I plugged in DAVID to my Dell Windows 7 machine. I then downloaded this driver and installed it. Inside …

Stepper Motor and Arduino Motor Shield
I was moving along on the 3D scanner and I needed to wire up the stepper motor. I bought this stepper motor #324 from Adafru.it - it seems to be a great motor. I bought a motor stepper driver from sparkfun, but I never hooked it up, nor soldered the pins I needed to it.You …
