My New Scanners With My Argon

[KGB_Productions]

Some of yall may remember about 2 weeks ago I posted a video of my argon scanning with some sh!tty micro step motors well today I finally got the new scanners installed and working. The scanners are nothing great (12k) but they work good enough for beamshows. :wave:

Here are some pics of the build and a video at the bottom. There are some things that i still need to do but for the most part this is finished. You would have to see for yourself how small the enclosure is that I managed to get all the electronics into. The enclosure was originally meant to just hold a shutter for the laser.

This is while running auto mode. No shows yet


So, What ya think?

You got me,lol.It looks like CRAP, but works. I needed to raise the scanner block so I made a platform of 2 dimes, 1 nickle, and JB Weld in each corner. It's 100% level and works as a heatsink

you could paint it black.. and it it would look like welding
