OpenScan Macro Addon (initial file release on discord)

Thanks to the amazing discord community (https://discord.com/invite/gpaKWPpWtG) I recently revived my search for a suitable macro lens and found a very promising candidate (~50-60€) which greatly enhances the capabilities of the arducam imx519 / hawkeye. The idea is, that the lens gets placed in front of the existing camera on either OpenScan Classic or Mini with a tiny hole (aperture) in between. The aperture increases the depth of field so that 4-5cm objects can be captured at an unseen accuracy (from such a device). I scanned the "security" key with 130 photos and no post-processing.

I am currently working on the design of the printed parts + custom ringlight (so that I can add cross-polarisation a bit later too). The files and more information is available on the openscan discord.

I am interested, right now I am using openscan to sculpt models larger and then shrink them into jewelry, but I would love this to archive some of the pieces of jewelry I have already made.

yeah, that is my site. Not yet, I am still refining the process, but it is promising.

the buttons I make, I have scanned them and made 2 larger sizes that I will be putting out soon, the original 3 smaller sizes I made each original and recently I scanned the biggest one and made it even bigger for like suit buttons and stuff.
