Thanks for the comment. I'll check out Mandels project. Photography was my first passion. So naturally this was a portrait project but with a 3D scanner instead of a camera.
Thanks for the insight into 3D scanning. How's the accuracy of the scan? If you were to scan a known size object, how much variation in the mesh would you expect?
Yep, the H model would do better and scan quicker. But since then I have been using the Einstar and it scans people and hair really well. I can get an entire body scanned in 90 seconds. Its a game changer for scanning people. Also it does better scanning darker elements and different lighting conditions as well.
Hi! I have seen your monitor riser on thingiverse and was having a hard time trying to find some wood with the depth and width in the description. Would you know where I could find some, like maybe on Amazon as I do not have a lowes in my country.
19 mm plywood or that thickness is standard internationally. Length and width can be cut down at a lumberyard. You can also look for premade shelves. I suggest buying the shelf first then doing a print with only 4 layers or so. Stop the print and then see if it fits the piece you have. If it doesn’t fit. transform the model till it does.
Can you scan something and convert it to a step/stp file that can be edited with a traditional CAD program? I’ve looked into doing something like this with a physical object, and then modeling internal components to be retro-fitted within. but I’m unsure if the polygon count or file format with work well enough.
So the program can export out 6 different file formats. Stl, obj, ply, 3mf, asc and p3 . I usually use the stl or obj file import into fusion and convert mesh to solid. But sometimes like you said the polygon numbers can be too high and need to be simplified depending on the object. But it doesn’t have any problems opening up in programs like blender or mesh mixer. But CAD programs sometimes struggle with the mesh to solid.
You can email me at dave3ddiy@gmail.com . But if it’s a question about 3d scanning then write in the comments maybe other people will benefit from the question and answer.
Great video! Your maker scans remind me of Mike Mandel’s Baseball Photographer Trading Card project, super cool. Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks Dave! We hope we could help you create more shining ideas!
Had very little knowledge of 3D scanning before you got this scanner. Now fascinated.
Such a unique project!! Loving the ideas! 💡
Thanks Grumpy!
Great video. Interesting stuff about scanning. Can see how useful this can be for replacing broken parts. 4:33 "Witness Me!" Mahalo for sharing! : )
You definitely made it into the video. 👍
@@3ddiy Yass. Mahalo 🙏❤️
I think you found your niche.Which is awesome but I hope you will still create with wood and other topics
Thanks for the insight into 3D scanning. How's the accuracy of the scan? If you were to scan a known size object, how much variation in the mesh would you expect?
down to .1mm accuracy
But this is the pro hd Model. Would the H model do better since it's made for human/limb scanning?

@3D DIY that's the $1000 one correct?

Is there a way I can contact you about scanning info? I didn't see your email in the comments
