PiClop 3D Scanner by bruckj

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a modification of bqLabs CiClop 3D Scanner. I have changed it to accommodate a Raspberry Pi in place of the Arduino. I have not completed the electrical circuit or software.
Sketchup files are included.
Laser Mount
relocated the nut so that it inserts from inside of the laser mounting hole this provides more material around the nut and makes it easier to remove if needed
use an M3 bolt and nut
Turn Table Base
removed the M8 nut traps, the original design did not allow for easy adjustment of the M8 bolt lengths, I have changed the design so that you can adjust this easier, I did recess the nuts on one side - you will need a socket for these
added clips that bolt (25mm M5 hex bolts and nuts) in place to hold the bearing, these have nut traps on the underside acccessed from where the motor mounts
removed foot locators
removed all the extra supports (they are not needed for printing), the only supports are for the motor shaft and bolts and the bearing mount bolts, these are easily cleaned with a drillbit and knife
Table Plate
had to increase some of the dimensions slightly to accomodate the bearing better (probably due to my printer capabilities)
increased the volume around the shaft coupling socket, I found that the original design was prone to layer separation when the part was twisted
I removed the supports for the bearing clips and print them on their side (no supports needed)
there are supports in the bolt holes that will need to be cleaned out with a drillbit
use three button head M6 25mm bolts and nuts to mount
Case
modified to fit a Raspberry Pi
the case is split into two pieces so that they can be printed on smaller beds
the pieces are bolted together, use two M5 20mm hex bolts and nuts to attach the top to the base (there are nut traps accessed from the inside of the top housing)
the Raspberry Pi is held in place with two printed spring clips
I removed all the extra supports from the original, print the case pieces face down, no addition supports should be needed
the lid should be printed on end, I use an extra wide brim to give support against bed motion
four 12mm M3 bolts and nuts to mount the cover, the nuts slide into a but trap in the main housing (be sure to clear the holes of supports first using a drillbit)
Shaft Coupling
used the original as-is
