This is fantastic! I want to make one. Is it possible to get a cheap polygonal mirror? Then you can get more scans per revolution.

I think that it is possible to make own polygonal mirror (cut polygonal mirror holder at CNC, attach flat mirrors and balance it). Also it may be found in stationary barcode reader. But you will lose field of view with polygonal mirror.
