Yes only $11 because 3D printers are free and piled up on every curb.

Just grab one with highly precise stepping motors for nothing.

Heh. I mean, that’s a cool hack but not only has it been done before, but it’s exactly how my MWIR camera works (also a single pixel camera). Mine just has a spinning mirror in it to do the scanning. Downside is that it makes a noise like a jet taking off.

That thing is not really a camera--more like an x-y surface plotter.
