Waiting on PCB...learning 3d printing

A project log for Open LIDAR

This project is to build a motorized gimbal mount to convert a laser distance module into a 3d LIDAR.

Still waiting on the PCB to arrive. In the meantime I'm working on learning to tie up some loose ends.

Last night I made my first 3d print. Trying to see about making the body a lot more usable in a cave. It would also be a lot easier to assemble for anyone with 3d printer access (or money to order a print). And a 3d print will be a lot more precise than my jigsaw for making sure that the laser is centered on the axis of rotation. So, while I wait for the PCB to arrive, I'm working on making models for a new revision to the body of the 3d Lidar.
