Revopoint - Dual Axis Turntable plate extension

How many times have you found that when scanning a slightly larger object the scanner didn't detect enough markers because they were covered by the object?

From the first few times I used the Revopoint Dual Axis Turntable I encountered this problem.

So I decided to try and create a system to increase the size of the original Dual Axis Turntable table.

This accessory increases the original table from 200 mm to 470 mm.

The system consists of eight segments with male-female joints to create the new surface.

I then wondered how to hold them together and ultimately opted for round neodymium magnets measuring 6 x 1 mm (You will need 48 in total).

There are 6 for each segment: 3 for the male side and 3 for the female side.

You can glue them into place with a simple drop of cyanoacrylate glue. Be careful to place them in the correct magnetic orientation.

Once everything was printed and assembled, I noticed that the outer edge tended to slope downward, preventing the segments from maintaining a flat surface. So I supplemented the design with tight-tolerance clips installed near the joints to keep the top elements aligned.

Subsequently, I applied the markers supplied with the Revopoint scanners to the new surface, avoiding applying them close to the joints so as to make the extension easily removable.

Before laying the new top, apply a small piece of double-sided tape to the center of the Dual Axis Turntable top.

Now you can finally scan slightly larger objects without running the risk of not capturing enough markers.

I hope this project can be useful to some of you.
