Open Source Ciclop DIY 3D systems Scanner Kit for 3D printer advanced laser scanner , Injection molding plastics parts

Pros: Assembly was easy Parts were all there Packaging was good Cons: Camera doesn't work (I tested on multiple systems and then swapped it out) The calibration board is there but it is not printed so you have to print on paper and attach it It has never successfully calibrated the platform. I have tried for hours. I have a grid showing for over 150 degrees but it still never worked. Tried multiple OS, since I am a Linux user, and here are the results: 1) Windows installs easily but never worked 2) It will not install on Ubuntu 17.04 or newer. The software has not been updated in 2 years 3) The repositories are down to get the required package to compile on my own 4) The Raspberry pi image is nowhere to be found. This was a huge waste of money. Total junk.

5 stars guys. Nice job. You really take "Do it yourself" to the next level. Maybe add in the instructions or product description that a soldering iron is required. Better yet, maybe include any instructions whatsoever next time? 5 solder pads were completely missed. Had to finish the job myself. Note to future customers: If the motor AND lasers don't work, check the solder pads on the back of the board.

It was cheaper to buy this kit than to purchase the pieces and print it myself. Unfortunately, it didn't come with any assembly instructions. It also came with no software and no calibration instructions. It does scan things but so far everything is fuzzy and unusable. I'm sure once I figure out the calibration on this thing I will be wearing it out. If I can get some successful scans from this things I will come back and change my rating. So far though it has not lived up to my expectations.

Well this was, less than amazing. The red frame was warped, the screw holes were not all in place, the camera didn't sit properly, I still have a ton of work, to try and rig this to work. Which when you spend this kind of money for essentially 5 threaded small poles, 2 cheep red lasers, and a Logitech webcam. The most important part is the frame/body, which as noted, was warped, without all the holes in the proper places. I was not pleased with this purchase, but, it was made, I have the parts, lots of 3d printers, so, I can print my own. I give it 2 stars only because I dont have to go lookup the red lasers, and the webcam, or drive to the local hardware store for a threaded rod and a couple nuts.

First, there are no instructions of any kind. Some kind folks posted videos to help. Good luck with that. After a week of software installation, uninstallation, downgrades, tests... It simply doesn't work in Windows or Linux. It took downgrading the software a couple times to get to calibration, which it usually failed. I did manage to get it to scan something (a plain white cylinder) and it produced a useless blob that no software could use as a starting point for a good point cloud conversion to mesh. Basically, it's a fine idea, poorly executed and completely unsupported.

Could use installation instructions had to go to you tube kind of hard to get assembled

The item showed up wth ZERO documentation. Not even a parts list. I had to go to YouTube to find assembly instructions. I got it assembled and then saw the "setup and calibration" video, which is a joke. None of the links to documentation or software work. I found a user group on Facebook, but so far, it hasn't helped at all. At this point, I have a pretty red paperweight! Since it's already assembled, I'm probably out of luck when it comes to returning it.

This scanner is amazing. The problem is the people not the scanner, all you have to do is follow the instructions and install the drivers and UAAAALAAAA!! MAGICK. Good technical support and software. The lasers are amazing in the scann 3d and do the job.
