Been looking at budget 3d scanners to reproduce tail light housings since it's hard to reverse engineer curves of an object and this was very helpful on seeing the scanner used in a more practical case
@@bilalexl Not yet, I built a cnc machine first because I didn't want to 3d print everything and I still wasn't fully done programming my lights since I'm making them sequential. A lot of videos I've seen from this scanner look pretty good and worth it so it's definitely going to be my next big buy
@@Chunknannigans I am going to nedd to ask you how you doing, because it's been a while since i thought i wanted clears on my car but i haven't really put the time or the heart to it. Also can't really afford a Pop but i am building a 3d scanner that would probably owrk
@@Flashbang_Photo hello, that sounds very interesting, mind emailing me for more info. And as an update towards @bilal I did finally get the Revopoint mini
This was super helpful, I've been trying to figure out how to do this exact kind of thing, and I can find plenty of "reviews" but this is the first actual example of what to do and how to do it I've seen. Thanks a ton!
Super helpful! Thanks for the tips because I've an old impeller from an antique outboard I'm gonna attempt to reverse engineer and print in CF-PETG. Great channel 👍
When scanning parts to be 3D printed I use monochrome mode, as colour mode significantly increases image processing with no practical benefits. Recommend printing high speed 3D printed parts in a carbon fibre impregnated filament to withstand high centrifugal forces. 👍
it's meant as a simple example. Of course you could make something sort of like it in CAD without scanning. The other goal was to try to exactly copy the original. Here's a slightly harder model: ruclips.net/video/rC0HOK7M-U8/видео.html
great vid liked and subscribed i also make parts in the engineering shop, vid on how you transform the scan into a clean 3d model super helpful, thanks!
Hi! Regarding the feature ring with a hole in the middle. You mean cleaning is easier using the post processing tools such as the cutting plane or lasso tool? I am a beginner 3d scanner owner, so sorry if this may sound dumb. Thank you
I'm not sure I get this. You're using a $20K piece of software to use scans from a budget scanner. Is there a more economical software to do a similar process?
Hi i just bought the revopoint mini and i don't know how practice. By the way your video was helpful somehow and i was wondering what the software you used for remodeling? And any other helpful tips how to master on 3d scanner?
With a caliper you can't reproduce curved surfaces easily. The part in this video is extremely simple and has absolute symetry arround Z axis. This is not always the case. Imagine you have to reproduce the casing of a car external mirror. The curves are completely organic and without a scanner like this one, it would be an absolute night mare to rebuild using caliper and measurements. Check this example ruclips.net/video/rC0HOK7M-U8/видео.html
Yes, but with simple geometry objects like the one above. But try tu use caliper and draw i.e. boot lid or a bumper so You could have all the curves...good luck then ;) This film is just an example.
My laptop does ok with solid works, will it be able to handle the scanning software in your opinion? Also the models could be brought into solid works directly without geomagic?
The revopoint POP2 page has the specs for a computer to use with the 3D Scanner. My experience with Solidworks many years ago was that it wasn't good at loading large polygonal files
I have been using Spotcheck developer for 20+ years, but it is pretty nasty stuff. I was trying to order another can of it and an ad popped up for the Aesub. I thought it would be nice for scanning things like fabrics that don't easily clean. They have several varieties... so I ordered them all. The coating seems a little thicker than Spotcheck, but it's nice to be able to use it in the house and it is self cleaning The link to it is in the video description
@@SerendipitySue I have and einscan se but I upgraded computers and it's not working with the new one so I went looking and i can sell the einscan for about the price of the pop3 with the tilting turntable. So I went for it.
Excellent video! Im getting into this so very helpful! Also, sorry if it seems like a ignorant question -but what specifically did you mean by 'fillets' at 7:05? Thanks!
@@SerendipitySue Very awesome to hear!! I just received a Revopoint POP2 today! I won't be able to play with it until the weekend, sadly. Thanks for the great video.
Very informative, but I have one criticism, the point you are using a budget scanner is applaudable, but the software is in its thousands and well beyond the average guy, so why do a scan with a budget scanner and finish the project using thousands of pounds/dollar software.. The video was clear and well presented not quiet sure it sells the scanner tome although I am seriously considering it.
I have an old version of Geomagic. They no longer have a hobby version :-( Hopefully other folks will show the tools they use. Good news is that the POP2 is now good enough to do most of my reverse engineering projects.
Dont get me wrong but "It took me about 1.5 hours to 3D scan and to do the CAD work." Sounds like a waste of time. Part is simple enough to just remodel it using calipers measurements in like 30 mins ?
I blew 550 bucks on the original pop1...like a month before they announced the pop 2. can't get it to work worth a damn, absolutely terrible. really disappointing. Honestly, if youre getting a 3d scanner, spend the extra for a good one that actually works the 1st time because the revopoint scanners almost NEVER work right and to simply re-design the part in fusion360 would take less time than trying to repeatedly scan it and get a usable scan.
I also bought a POP and then the POP2 came out. I find the POP2 much more usable for the kind of reverse engineering I do. I think the POP is more appropriate for artistic type applications
Why would you scan something symmetric like that and made it as bad as the original design, reason why it broke in the first place is because it was designed with weak points, you could of just measure the diameter, center and make your own better design fan. That was a waste of time. The scanner is for organic shapes which are difficult to measure.
Right. A 3D software, a caliper and a rule to record the main dimensions and bingo, you are right to produce an improved version of the initial product. I produced a copy of the broken support of LNB (Parabolic antenna). I put ribs were I identified design weaknesses. Works perfectly. Did the same for a support of ham antenna. Same success.
Thanks for a helpful video! The feature ring for the turntable looks really useful

Agreed!
Great job. 👍 it always feels good when you can reverse engineer something and save money. Or create something that isn't made anymore.
Another cool video! If only I was able to get my hands on geomagic design x, sad it is so expensive.
Super helpful! Thanks for the tips because I've an old impeller from an antique outboard I'm gonna attempt to reverse engineer and print in CF-PETG. Great channel 👍
how can you print nitrile rubber? might be tricky to get a flexible enough material that wont break and seize the motor.
nice job

Very nice job. Not heard of GeoMagic before. You didn't state how it performed!!
Neighbor said it's working great!
Great instructional video!! Thanks for sharing...
Excellent!
Good job.
Man..this simple geometry is far quicker modeled in cad with a pair of not even calipers, just a ruler!

Believe it or not 85% infill will be stronger than 100% on PETG has a bit of flex and wont snap or be brittle
What type of filament did you use for your feature scan plate
PETG
Nice job! I see you using various software, can you give me a run down on what software you are using beyond the POP2 stuff please.
I have old versions of Innometric Polyworks and Geomagic Design-X. They are great, but very expensive now.
What hardware would you need to run those programs?
How did the part hold up As of today? Did you have to make another?
it's been working fine
Hi i just bought the revopoint mini and i don't know how practice. By the way your video was helpful somehow and i was wondering what the software you used for remodeling? And any other helpful tips how to master on 3d scanner?
My mini hasn't come yet. Any day now. There are a lot of useful youtube videos on their support site
I recommend to use a caliper, draw it with a 3D software, and in 1/4 hour you have a perfect design ready for printing (for simple part).

the scanner is superfluous. this part can be measured and modeled with a caliper. faster.
Did it hold up while spinning at 1800rpm?
@@almarnordby2034 yup, still running fine
Is there a good alternative to AESUB spray that costs $230 a can?
Athletes foot spray.

so after a year now. how is the fan holding up? i would have probably done PC rather than PETG so i am curious
still workiing great
@SerendipitySue so how's the scanner been over the past year? I just ordered the pop3 advanced.
I have a POP, POP2, MINI and a Range. All still working well. Don't use the POP any more.@@chrisnelson1935

Production cost is super expensive and takes forever to finish these days
Excellent video! Im getting into this so very helpful! Also, sorry if it seems like a ignorant question -but what specifically did you mean by 'fillets' at 7:05? Thanks!
Fillets are rounded edges that reduce cracking in 3D prints and provide additional strength if you use them where two surfaces come together
So did the part vaporize into dust when spooled up to speed? Or is it still going strong to this day?
nope, working fine!
@@SerendipitySue Very awesome to hear!!
I just received a Revopoint POP2 today! I won't be able to play with it until the weekend, sadly.
Thanks for the great video.
ah but did it work ?
It’s in testing now. The real question is will it last 😆
@@SerendipitySue hmm only time will tell
oh and centrifugal force
or is it centripidal get them confuzzed
hi mate, where did you get the 'feature ring'? is that something revopoint sold or a 3d printed part?
I put a link in the Video Description. I 3D printed it.
@@SerendipitySue idk how i didnt see that, i could have sworn i looked in the description. im terribly sorry. Cheers very much!
@@Benbenshow3141 I just put the link in now for you :-) You didn't miss it.
Can you not just fill broken areas with clay and scan it if you don’t care much about about how good it looks?
Nice one but PLA+ is actually stronger than PETG fyi :)
I use PETG because it will handle higher temperatures and is UV resistant
@@SerendipitySue yeah about the only thing better is the outside temp handling but not by much... better to go ASA or ABS
@@EUCRAZY_AU I don't like the fumes that ASA and ABS put off
@@SerendipitySue get a exhaust for ventilation or just walk away when printing it's definitely the right product for the job thou

an extra step would have been to somehow balance the part
