In this project, I decided to transform my old xbox 360 kinect sensor into a cheap and easy to use 3D scanner! First of all, I made some prototypes of what my 3D sensor should look like using Tinkercad, But it turned out badly, as It was so massive, that I would have to print it in multiple parts.

I decided to use my old tripod instead, and print an adapter for kinect sensor, which showed to be really great descision.

Then I printed round construction and found a really cool stl bearing on thingiverse. I also used a piece of plank to add some extra weight to the bottom of the construction.

The best software to use kinect with is called KScan3D. But you need to buy an adapter from kinect to USB.
