This is incredible. As someone who's bought probably half a dozen nice x-ray machines at the scrap yard over the past few years... This is such a very nice project and you made it into something truly useful. What all we nerds dream of doing with an x-ray machine in our electronics lab.
Wouldn't happen to have a spare tube lying around would you? It's the last part I need for my machine 😅 Actually what kind of scrapyard do you even look for this stuff in anyway? Hopefully there's some local one in Australia here
nice results.. i have some old working x-ray equipment a may upgrade the software and camera for a higher resolution image. thanks for the great video.
DAMN SON! Seriously amazing. Woulld have been absolutely mind blowing if you'd RE the firmware or at least shown the TTL and wrote your own software for the thingy... Possible but extremely difficult.
That's a grate project! I might do something similar. what kind of x-ray generator are you using? and does the sensor plugs to a pc, and what software are you using.
Hi, Nice job! Congrats.! I would like to do same project to test iron casting parts. To check internal structure about defects and voids. Do you think that tube have power enought to penetrate iron castings? Could be good and very helpful if you could do a video, testing some iron parts or even some nickel coins to see the behaviour of machine. Thank you!
I have a similar setup but I have to use film currently, I couldn't find one of the sensor plates you did without it being thousands of dollars. May I ask where found that? Also what tube do you have? I have a Canon D-045
Yes, electronics does have support for twi stepper motors. One is for height, and the other is for rotation. Look up my my channel. Where are some videos captured on rotation axis
Well, i study quantum electronics, but now working as electronics desiner. It is nice to understand physics, have programming and hardware development skils, it allows to do so many things :)
This video inspired me to work on building my own PCB xray inspection cabinet several months ago. I've had a lot of issues but am nearing the end, I'm wondering what panel you use though? I've gotten 2 samsung llx240ab01 but don't have any of the software or cables. I can mock up cables just fine but it's that software I'm struggling with now.
Try to get hamamastu panel. It has sdk with examples how to use it. It will be hard to do in other panels, specially big TFT tipe ones, you need special programs and no SDK.....
What's the xray tube you're using? I've gone through the comments and your element14 post, but I have yet to find what specific tube this uses, or the specifications of the tube. It's a good tube, powerful enough to produce crisp shadows on the sensor, which is ideal and what a lot of lower-powered tubes cannot do.
Tube not very good, it is only 39keV at the moment. I would love to get my hands on hamamatsu microfocus tube capable 120-150keV ar 200w power. This would be extraordinary good
Very nice. You could add a Z table for a zoom function and to push small items really close to the source for super zoom. This would be great for checking sausages for bits of bone too. Were the specialised components pricey? ie the sensor and transmitter.
One of those hamamatsu sensors is selling on ebay for 6.5k euro (a lower resolution model iirc). He says he got a good deal though for the one he has. You can get axial ones for 1000 apparently, but I don't know how that would work with this type of compact use, since you'd need a good resolution and to rotate the subject along an axis parallel to the sensor I presume (at that point it'd only be good for CAT). X-ray tubes are comparatively not very expensive, around 100-300eur for most. Although I don't know about one with the same energy he is using. He says in his article a good target is Mo and a good energy is 17 keV
It has one. All internal space is lined with led and aluminum sheets. It is also just 40keV, so very little penetrating power. Also beam is very directional, so even if you open, you only get back scatter
@@Kilohercas please help me brother I want to buy a parcel xray scanner I can pay immediately for you to make this for me as I have to check parcels everyday but I can't afford expensive xray machines but I can pay you to create this for me. Please contact me ASAP. Thank you!!!!!
@@Kilohercas hi I need to see what's inside small and medium parcels that are in cardboard boxes using a mini xray machine which is safe and light weight and affordable and portable

Hi Linas K, you have comments turned off on your elegoo saturn fix and I have a question about it. Many people are reporting that they solved the problem of restarting by replacing the power supply. Did your chassis ground solution remain effective? I am having this issue now after years of use, so it's hard to believe that I am suddenly getting static build up after all this time. It has never changed location and it's in a temperature controlled room. I have ordered a new power supply, but maybe I will take the time to ground the chassis as well.
As stated in that video, unscrewing top made it non functional due to restart. It help alot having true ground ( must be in the socket) Good power supply could have proper ground to zero connection
@@Kilohercas Well my new power supply didn't fix it. So I grounded the chassis to the USB board. Actually found a ground pin on that board and used a female connector to connect to the pin. I felt I would have had to completely remove that board to solder to usb ground which was a tight fit to the base and didn't think my soldering tip could fit in there. Then I ran that wire to the chassis, scraped away the paint and soldered it right to the chassis. Printer is working again, thanks for the video. Really odd how this just started happening after years of printing without this issue one time!
How much did the hamamatsu sensor cost? I want to make an XRay machine but trying to search for the price online yields no results , only "Contact us". Doubt this is anything under 2000$ lol. Really nice build
Is it possible to implement very high frames per second with this (say 30k frames?) Or is 1 fps baked into the sensor itself? Or would using a screen and high speed camera be a simpler method?
@@Kilohercas Ok I see. So if I don't want to be limited by the sensor would a phosphorus screen work? Would my fps then be limited by what camera I use to record it?
@@jackiedapper9752 you need to get a lot of power in order to get high framerates. Its just like low light photography. You need to collect light to get high SNR. Iluminating screen does work, but same problem. I guess you get the idea 💡
This is very cool! Great job! Do you mind sharing a few things like, where you got the xray tube from or part number? Or the sensors you used? I would love to be able to build something similar so I can check some of my soldering work while I learn on smaller packages lol.
@@Kilohercas I have enough money and budget, but I want the names of all the circuits, for example, what is the board for part TEN-15-2412wi, what are its specifications, and do you have an email or WhatsApp or Telegram? May I ask you for some information? You are a great help
@@Kilohercas I would probably add it, not necessarily because you'll make a mistake yourself, but if someone unqualified gained access and somehow managed to irradiate themselves, you could be liable.
Sveikas Linai, aš norėjau pasiteirauti - kokio gamintojo rentgeno vamzdelį panaudojai bei kiek jis kainavo? Ar netyčia turi daugiau informacijos apie projekto detles, ypač smalsu kaip setupinai FPGA Žiauriai kietas projektas, aš būčiau žiauriai dėkingas už bet kokią informaciją ar resursus ar patarimus!
@@Kilohercas I will wait impatiently. I've been wanting to try it in Italy for years. unfortunately I can not find certain components that you have in America. I will cry with joy if the result is positive
Well, this is typical perception people has. Like x-ray or any other Ionizing radiation will kill you. Problem is you have to understand how much do you have it. Using this apparatus is completely safe. Even worse, if you spend 30 minutes inside this box, and It will be producing highest power of radiation it can, it will be same as one year of background radiation. ( so very little basically,. My system uses 20W of power, while simple x-ray tube In CT scanner uses more than 2kW) To give you context, making you hand x-ray picture is not as bad as to flight from London to Tokyo :)
Bro at the least step 2 meters away. Even if it might not be that much coming through the lead, it makes me unconformable seeing someone x-ray something next to their testis.
@@Kilohercas yes I agree, this is why there are limits for flight personal on how many flights they can do per year. I just wanted to say that if he stepped 2m away he would only get about 10% of the dose he gets when he is standing right next to it. With basically no effort (only having a 2m cable). Yes the risk of him getting a relevant dose is pretty small but he could make it so much saver just by having a little distance
