DIY 3D scanner

[Redeemer]

Hello guys
I decided to try my hand at 3D scanning for my Ender V2 pro. My first experience with the lidar on the iPad with Scandy Pro was horrible, it seems that objects with complex geometry cannot be appropriately read by the built-in scanner.
Found some DIY 3d scanner projects around the web, and it looks like this is what I need (cause there's no way I can afford to buy one of these "real" overpriced 3D scanners). Has anyone had experience with this kind of project? I'm considering BQ Ciclop project for now, but maybe there is a more interesting option?

I can't say if it has the same electronics, but my son has scanner that looks exactly like that one. He has several hundred $ into it and cannot get it to work for 3D print scans. He has given up on it, and he is pretty computer savvy in that he writes code for computer games and such.
