UV Exposure Unit Build (1): Broken Pipe Dream and Final Master Plan
I’ve got UV LEDs and empty scanner cases - it’s time to go to work … ↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓ After tearing down my old scanner (link below), acquiring 100 UV LEDs and characterizing them (link below) and gutting another, much larger scanner, I bought as defect (link below) it is time to come up with a plan to put everything together. First I’m grieving about how my nice, slim scanner case is not up for the job. Then I delve deeper into the optical properties of those UV LEDs. Finally I verify that the bigger scanner case is really big enough and come up with a plan. 00:00 Intro – an empty scanner case, 100 UV LEDs and a pipe dream 03:42 Illuminating – experiments in homogenous UV illumination 14:05 Going bigger – an even larger empty scanner case 18:25 Verifying – more UV illumination using honeycombs 21:43 Adjusting – the master plan, that is UV Exposure Unit Build: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwq-2MnM58FIBJH50kzA42_fCYGXoaH9N UV Exposure Unit Build (2): Power Supply Board Build, Mounting and Test: https://youtu.be/VjhCauuBdas Canon CanoScan N670U Scanner Teardown (One RGB-LED to Scan it All): https://youtu.be/LPEbfbpD7Kc Mailbag: UV LEDs (Characterized), I2C OLED Displays and a Plan: https://youtu.be/QIia2-4E9Xg Epson GT-8500 Scanner Teardown (Nineties Tractor Construction) https://youtu.be/mREvIuJbV3w
