Hi, I'm hoping to build the BQ Ciclop scanner and have a logitech C920 camera that I could use instead of the C270. I realise that the stl file holding the camera will need to be modified. But I have a few other questions;
1) Why is it necessary to remove the lense cover of the camera? Does the lense cover have a distorting effect on the lasers or is the cover only removed on the C270 so that the camera manual focus may be adjusted?
2) Is the lense center height in the plastic housing a critical dimension?
Thanks in advance.

I have got about 75% of the parts printed now and an Arduino all set up.
The first thing i have discovered is that the size of the stepper motor was not listed so the one i have which is a kysan is about 7 mm to big for the motor holder. So i may have to print a small bed for the holder and camera mount to sit on to extend it by 10 mm so there is a bit of a gap underneath.
Next is to make the shield for the Arduino.
Quick question for Jesus89 . Are there any plans for posting the PCB layouts to something like oshpark.com. I am trying to figure out if i can just zip the Gerber files up and send to them.
Thanks
Davey

I don't think you actually need the back cover; it's just cosmetic so if it doesn't print well, don't worry about it. My only problem printing the Ciclop turntable parts was the hand-drawn support that was added to the STLs; it doesn't really work, at least on my printer. It was acceptable for the turntable clips, but for the large arches and the center area of the turntable base it barely helped. I only got partway through printing the camera tower before my printer broke; in the time that it took me to repair the printer I also redrew that part in OpenSCAD to suit the Ciclop/ATLAS hybrid I'm building, which required a different size bay for the electronics and a different mounting position for the lasers (inline, rather than angled). Mine prints without supports, so I didn't have to worry about that. I didn't take a lot of pictures of the printed parts, but there are a couple of views here: http://bill-owens.blogspot.com/2015/...ble-build.html

making the shield for the Arduino was the only thing holding me back from using that versus the ZUM boards. I assume you used an Arduino Uno R3? They did list the part number of the stepper motor that they used. 42BYGHW609P1-X11

Oshpark is making the boards for me. They are about $10 each and you have to order a minimum of 3.
I am most likely going to make 2 which means that i should have one spare board.
Regarding the stepper motor it is also what i had in a box under my desk so it is what i will have to use
In the next few days i hope to get all the parts for the electronics.

Ok so i have a pretty good list of all of the parts needed from Mouser as a project.
The only thing that i have not been able to get nailed down is the PTC
The MF-Rxx is the series but i am not sure of the values that are desired. As what should the hold, trip and max current be and Max Voltage.
Without the PTC's the cost of electronics is about $16 worth of components and the stepper drivers from pololu of about $17 and if you needed Ardunio Uni R3 about another $30
Please explain to me how to...
