Photon 3D Scanner for the Space

[Marc]

Hey all

There is an interesting Photon 3D scanner project on Indiegogo and Hipster and I are keen to start a pledge drive to have it at the space.

With shipping to UK, price will be about £350, most likely less, the difference will be given as donation to the space.

All info here: 

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/photon-3d-scanner

If more members are interested we'll start a pledge drive.

thanks

$350 for a stepper, laser line and webcam? I'm clearly in the wrong job

I rather doubt it. If you take their estimate of shipping cost to California and add

VAT and the usual rip-off handling charge it comes to £345, but it will definitely

cost more than that to the UK. I would have thought £360 - £370 would be nearer

the mark. And then there is the currency conversion cost, probably adding another

£5 - £10.

Also dont we have a 3d scanner that is basically the same as this? I know the software is "mac only" but I'm sure it can be made to work with something else

[Filthy hipster scum]

The scanner we have at the moment is truely dreadful. Its a specific version of mac only and have to have x-code to work, it is also very light dependant and rarely give a clean scan. Where as the one me and marc found is plug-n-play. I've pledged £25 for it. 

[Ian Lewis]

ill go in for £25

Looks like there's demand - can we get the standard wiki page[1] set up, to stop the metoo's?

thanks Chris for setting up the wiki page, I was just about to do it myself. 

I just heard back from the Indiegogo guy, says shipping will be about C$80, I will update the price.

Unless objections I will add the names of people who pledged here to the wiki page.

[Marc]

Update: the Indiegogo campaign is getting really (too) successful, and the 1st batch of 200 scanners is sold out. 

They have now created a 2nd batch but now price is up: from C$399 to C$449. And delivery will be September. Not sure this is still worth it though I have 

no doubt they will sell every scanner.

[Chris von Csefalvay]

Seriously? £32 is not that much a difference - a little more then one pledgor.

[Ulisses Pinto]

I suppose the issue was not just the price - people might not want to wait till September.

If the fabscan we got is limited to Mac software and people would prefer this, i would up my pledge to 100 and take the fabscan in exchange??

I must be honest, am not sure what I would use it for but think it would find a use and is a cool bit of kit to have avilible 

all we need is another 8-9 people at 25 quid a go to reach target or 3 to be close to 250

if we reach 250 I will up my pledge to 40 and challenge other pleger to do like wise :-)

I'm not sure whether the Fabscan was a gift or a loan?

The intention was that it would stay in the space and hopefully users would contribute to software development

[Necati]

I pledged £25 and updated the wiki page. I think this would be good to attract new members.

Glad to see there is still a strong interest for this pledge. We are now at £215 for a target of £374.

Note that out of the 200 scanners of the batch #2 set up 4 days ago, half have been sold, which means we don't have a lot of time before this offer runs out.

[James Geddes]

Hi guys,

Am I right in thinking that this has lost steam? It would be great to have a 3D scanner in the space. With the exchange rate as is, the price is currently £376.23 including shipping but excluding import charges.

This is probably one of the cheaper tools that we are after - if only 10 people were to pledge just £13, we could get it!

Thanks all,

J

Can a non member pledge some money?

I don't think anyone can stop you making a donation via a bank transfer with the correct REF code ;-)

but you would have to get a member to operate it. (I am guessing, if it was acnode equipment, that required member training status for the tool)

Cheers,

Tom
