That is indeed.. how i decided to brand it and this seems working. In reality both systems have different optical properties; this does matter if you push them to the limits. Galvanometers are slow, require more calibration. Rotating devices don't stand still at the end of a sweep and are much faster (10 times).


Galvanometer based systems often suffer from acceleration issues at the start and end of the swing which limits the usable spread.


the concept is really cool, congrats! Can the prototype actually print? Do you have some photos of the printed stuff?


This is how it prints on UV paper, https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/1013221548797737200.jpg . This is the calibration data recorded by imaging with the camera directly on a CMOS chip. You can count pixels.. this is what an expert needs to determine the quality. https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/21933938381472/calib_data.zip

More data is here https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/21933938381472/21measurements.... pixel 4.65 microns. You can use opencv to do the trick. I added a little script in this one.
