Update on the 3D Scanner
The camera and its ribbon connector have been built into the camera tower, with the ribbon cable enclosed in a sheaf. The top part of the Raspberry Pi case has also been attached.

3D Scanner Software - Freelss - Using Raspberry Pi
The 3-D scanner I am building will use a Raspberry Pi running Freelss open source software. I am currently installing all the dependencies and the other pieces of small software such as Raspicam etc, in preparation for installing the Freelss software itself.
When running the 3-D scanner will connect wirelessly to a laptop over the local wi-Fi network and be controlled from the laptop and the 3-D models can then be saved.
I will Post about the next stage in the 3-D scanner build next week.

3D Scanner Assembly
I have started assembling the 3-D Scanner, with help from my younger brother, as it turned out to be a four hand job.

| The 3-D Printed parts were assembled using machine screws and nuts |

| The fully assembled turntable arm. The stepper motor can be seen at the top with its cables running down the arm to where the camera tower will be attached. |

The 3-D Scanner Electrical Components have arrived!
The electrical components for the 3-D scanner have now arrived:
They include two specially manufactured lasers (which are directed at the object being scanned to provide reference points to calculate the scale), an additional circuit board to work with the Raspberry Pi, a stepper motor and all the required nuts and screws to assemble. Shortly I will be able to begin the assembly of th scanner using the plastic parts I have 3-D printed.

3D Scanner.
Through a Kickstarter campaign called Atlas 3-D scanner (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1545315380/atlas-3d-the-3d-scanner-you-print-and-build-yourse) I have started a project to build my own DIY Open source software 3-D scanner.
Called 'ATLAS 3D - The 3D Scanner You Print and Build Yourself!', the scanner uses a Raspberry Pi as the processing unit with all the plastic components 3-D printed.
The first thing I have completed is to 3-D print all the components for the scanner.
Here are some images:
