Morphing my Rotary Laser engraver to a 3D scanner

I am thinking about morphing my rotary laser engraver ( Dedicated Compact Rotary Axis Laser Engraver | OpenBuilds) into a 3D scanner. I found this project (https://en.openscan.eu/) that has most of work done and looks like I only need to buy a cnc shield for the Pi & a light ring. I can get a Protoneer CNC Shield from Genuine Protoneer CNC Shield v3.51 for Arduino Engraver CNC GRBL 1.1 - ZYLtech Engineering, LLC that I will have to solder & and a light ring from NeoPixel Ring - 16 x 5050 RGB LED with Integrated Drivers : ID 1463 : $9.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits that should work. I will probably need to get a newer pi cam as mine is a V1.3. Only new 3d printed parts would be to mount the camera & a wider, thicker rotary table. Probably will have to make the legs on my engraver 500mm long instead of the 250mm. Does anyone have alternate suggestions for the Pi CNC shield, camera or ring light?

[Edit] I posted this before looking at the videos for that project. Looks like I will need to have a tilt for the camera. Original design rotated the model. Since I am going to use a pi camera, rotating that will be a lot less weight to move around & should be able to use a servo for it if software end is not a problem to modify.

This is something I wanted to get to but never did. Very simple. Then you add in meshroom! (open source and free)

I have been playing with a Pan Tilt servo mount for the raspberry pi camera the last few days. Even if I don’t make the 3D scanner, this will probably be useful for video of laser engraving. For the 3D scanner, probably will only need tilt servo. I started with this design. Servo Pan Tilt - Raspberry Pi camera by japersik It mostly fit all together, but the servo horn & some of the holes needed to be adjusted.
I only have a raspberry pi 5mp camera which will work well enough for engraving videos, but probably will need a newer camera. I have also been pondering how to make a simple filter for the front of the lens similar to the 12" square orange piece I have. I am thinking kapton tape might work. My wife suggested some sign here stickers. Since the tape will go on the plastic cover, it will not make the lens sticky. Looks like you can also get different color transparent tape.
Here is what my design for this looks like so far. The 2 servos are yellow in the image.

Camera slider timelapses are very fun to play with. We have one of our living room on Christmas morning. It is pretty fun to see the action in 1min. The movement of the camera makes it feel much less like a surveillance video.

The AE firm I used to work did a canstruction contest every year with the construction of something made from cans of food. I did a Timelapse of the build every 10 seconds I think & made a video of it. It came out pretty good. I had to take a frame out here & there as someone would inevitably stand in front of the camera. The food was donated to local food bank after it was finished.

I found this software that looks like an easy way to do video & image capture with the pi. RPi-Cam-Web-Interface - eLinux.org I tested the software yesterday & the servos. The software has the ability to add up to 6 user buttons, so should be able to add some type of servo control buttons.

I also received my MKS DLC32 board yesterday & flashed with latest firmware. Haven’t tested it on my laser engraver yet, but seems like a nice board.
