Stepper motor must be Nema 17, it is a size standard, it is sold by different manufacturers.   Stepper motors are available with 1.8 degrees (200step) and 0.9 degrees (400step) T-scann 8 programmed for 1.8 degrees. If you have a stepper motor 0.9 degrees, the arduino code must be adapted.   There are 2 variants shaft 5mm round and bevelled edge this is what you should look for. The shaft should be around 20 mm long, there are several variants here as well. Furthermore, there are not always contacts on the cord, so it is good so you do not have to put it on yourself since the cord is not too short, on mine they are 30cm shorter than so they should not be, preferably a little longer. Below link to one that. There are certainly in several places buy what suits you depending on where in the world you live. 

If the distance (Stepper ‐ motor ‐ distance.stl) does not fit the one you get, say, I will post a custom one. The shaft protrudes 18mm above the plate, with my stepper motor.

Almost everything can be ordered from mouser.com free shipping from 400skr or 50euro. Delivery worldwide. This list contains 20 different items (81.46 Euro) the exel file can be imported directly into mouser Shopping Basket. 
Arduino Nano can be found cheaper. Compare the price when shopping for other things

Temu.com has a lot of stepper motors like this

Highlight the film
White LED CRI 95 / 4000K seems to be good Note "Cree CXA1304" is available in several versions some are only CRI 80 the one I 
recommend is   CXA1304-0000-000C0UA240H  look for this in technical data or compare carefully.

about brightness but I'm guessing 150-300 mcd.

Phototransistor WP7113P3C if you can't buy it then it must 
have sensitivity around 900nm and clear not blue! this 
has sensitivity even for shorter wavelengths 390-395

Back‐panel‐contacts

Contacts are expensive, these contacts fit in the panel. 
Search for these in your home countries maybe you can find these cheaper?

Inside the scanner, these short cables are preferably needed under 1 meter.        
USB-A to mini-USB  / Arduino Nano depending on the manufacturer there are also USB-MINI and USB-C
USB-B to USB-A  / Raspberry PI 
HDMI to Micro HDMI(Type D) / Output Raspberry PI

If you have difficulty finding any part or have any questions, send an email to brev@torulf.com and I will try to help you.

* This connector has become expensive and difficult to buy. 
Will choose a new connector and probably update theback panel
