So the whole project that I can find documentation for seems to be about soldering together a couple stepper drivers (rather than just using a scrap 3d printer controller which everyone has sitting around) and a ring light, where's the photogrammetry workflow part?

I think this project is about making a bunch of photos of the object and share them with SAMBA. Then you can load them into meshroom or another software. It's not all in one package.

  In that manual, there are several sections. The first three seem to have decent content: 1. Soldering 2. Wiring all parts 3. User Interface That third one ("User interface") shows how to use the software. From just glancing at it, it seems like it'll be ok. At the very end there is a list of future things that I'm guessing will also be added to the manual: 4. Workflow 5. Build - 3D Printed Version 6. Build - CNC version 7. Photogrammetry Software - Overview 8. Post Processing Hopefully these last sections are also filled out in the near future, as they sound pretty useful. :)

  Yes, this is the current public stage. The device is making a bunch of images, creating a zip file that need to be downloaded and manually processed. The main advantage already is, that the images and the lighting is very consistent, which is major key to successful photogrammetry. The upcoming cloud processing would further simplify this process, but as I am doing all that alone (+ help from the community) this is a rather slow progress...

A neat video of the openscan mini in action can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/jx2aww/3d_printed_3d_scanner_for_miniatures_update/ https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/jx2aww/3d_print... and the results from that scan along with the cloud processing photogrammetry workflow can be seen in the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhvFq-OYa1g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhvFq-OYa1g The author says he wants a one-click solution to getting a 3d model of a scanned object. I think that's a great goal - as easy as hitting the green button on a photocopier, except now three dimensional. From the automated picture-taking and that cloud processing workflow, this project is already remarkably close.
