Help wanted: 3D-print prototype for an innovative dartboard

[Cadenzo]

I’m developing a dart-detection system using light and shadow projection (patent pending).

Already built a first paper prototype, and the software development is underway. Of course, written with B4R / B4A / B4i! (For desktop and server parts I still use VB.NET, mainly to reuse code from older projects.)

Now I’d like to move on to a real prototype to improve stability and accuracy (already made a first test version myself in OpenSCAD).

Looking for support with CAD modeling, STL/STEP files, and splitting a 72 cm ring into printable parts.
I offer payment or project involvement – and the chance to shape a unique invention

If you’re interested, just get in touch – I’m looking forward to creative collaborators!

Hello,
While studying your project I found that https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4112111 is a good starting point.
Also I discovered this: https://autodarts.io/
Did you know about this kind of system already?

Thanks for your reply! Autodarts (and others like Scolia and Target Omni) use three or more cameras and require more processing power to analyze everything. I use a different method with just one camera to analyze shadows from different perspectives.

Your first link is a good starting point. However, my system needs some modifications. A larger inner surface of the ring, as well as a cover to block stray light. Also requires the ring to be closer to the dartboard. I don't need the entire ring, just about two-quarters of the top and bottom...

I can help you with this.
