Show HN: 3dasd – open-source DIY room-scale 3D scanner
Taking a break from my software developer job, I've started to work on my first ever hardware project and with too much free time on my hands it quickly turned into something bigger than I've anticipated.<p>Working with a friend, we wanted to explore the use of 3D scanners on construction sites but quickly got stuck as no cheap hardware was available to fool around with. How hard can it be to build one I thought? I've already programmed Arduinos to blink LEDs before, this isn't that different... Then a few months into the project I've realized that I've spent way too much time on this to let it go to waste and started turning this into a community project.<p>At this point I've reached the first milestone of having a working 3D scanner with (hopefully) enough documentation to help others get started with building their own. I'm sharing this with you now to spread the word, get feedback and to invite you to contribute if you feel like it! (:<p>Kind Regards,
Daniel
