Happy 3D Printing Day!
It's not yet December 3rd here in California where I am but as far as UTC is concerned it is 3 De-cember. Happy International 3D Printing Day!

For 3D Printing Day: I was hoping to post about this last month and I hinted about this in a reply to @print3dpro (a.k.a @futuremind) but due to the current supply chain issues I haven't been able to get all the parts I need. However, since it is 3D Printing Day I'll share this image.

I've 3D printed most of the parts I need for a MakerScanner. Soon I will have a DIY 3D scanner.
I believe I know the type of laser diode I need to use to make the cleanest and brightest laser line for the camera to pick up but right now that diode is out of stock. The ETA for more becoming available is 2-3 months. I guess graphics cards aren't the only thing in shortage when it comes to semiconductors.
Once I have the camera and laser diode I can move to the next stage. I have something very special planned...

Thank you for the shoutout @holovision,
Today my 3D printer is not working due to the parts fan going bad on me, and having the hot end and motherboard connections disassembled, so there is no way I can celebrate 3D printing day other than just taking a moment of appreciation and gratitude for having such an amazing piece of tech, along with the ability to make it function properly!
Not an easy feat, but one you've achieved as well, as your prints are looking very nice!
I look forward to the completion of your MakerScanner. That is a really nice multi parts print you produced. 👍
