The video gives a great overview of the scanner and nuggetsinclusive found a real interesting issue with the scanner that we have to look into:
Scanning a right angle which turned into a 3d modell being off by almost 1deg which is quite a huge error. Maybe an issue with stacking? Lens distortion?
Any ideas?

In this video I'm checking out the OpenScan - 3D Scanner! An Open S...

It is incredible what low-cost hardware can create. This 3D Scan was done with the stock OpenScan Mini + (upcoming) Macro-Addon.
