Figured I might as well start a little diary for my project, properly named as well! (renamed thread 2010-03-04. -Although I still think That "The Noober" (Noob+Scanner) is a suitable name for my scanner )
Edit: DOH! That just put a title on the post.. oh well, I guess I'm stuck with the old thread title, haha!
Today was yet another day of getting to hate stepper motors and wanting galvos, so I figured I'm actually gonna start making some tomorrow.
Other than that, I harvested a pretty little DVD-RW LD, made some adjustable mounts for the lasers (waiting for that order from Stonetek) and went rummaging through the scrap to find pieces for my galvo-build .
Edit: Also rememberred to actually order the cmedia soundcard for the DAC
Adjustable mount with 6 pairs of brackets prepared for more lasers.
DVD-RW LD test without collimation
-Oh, and to the upper right you can see the bloody stepper motors. I WILL get them working, but not until I've tried building some galvos of my own!
-And yeah, my phone-camera sucks.
