It’s been a while, here’s an experiment with the scanner and perpendicular rotation, the model is rotating on an office chair, very slowly, and the scan is from top to bottom over 2-ish minutes.

    A little more context:

    The exposure time for each line is a maximum of 30 ms. That number comes from dividing the amount of lines over the time a scan takes. Factoring in overhead from read-time and actually incrementing the sensor, I guess the sensor is open for maybe 15-20 ms.

    As I said above, flickering sources are an issue. They manifest as periodic lines of darker and brighter streaks, kind of like venetian blinds. The LED sources I sometimes use are meant for film, so they’re either continuous, or on fast enough duty cycles so it doesn’t really matter, fluorescent sources powered from mains are from my experience most likely to mess things up.
