You may have already heard of the 2.5D scans of the N900. They live here:
http://neo900.org/stuff/werner/scans/

Scanning has been a background activity for a good while (the scanner is slow, with a high-resolution scan of a larger part taking several days), and I've now scanned all the surfaces I think will be important for our project.

This is about half the surfaces that are in N900 in total, but the ones I didn't scan are either trivial, outsides, or sub-parts of larger assemblies we'll treat as a whole anyway.

One purpose of these scans is to accurately measure dimensions of the case and of N900 components. For this, I've written a quick and dirty visualizer with a measuring function. Here's a screenshot:

This example shows the width of the audio jack. The jagged blue lines on the sides are height profiles (with some rendering artefacts, hence the "dirty"

Usage instructions:

The code lives here:

The STL meshes can be downloaded from the scans page.
