    Yes I used the ai scanner to try to recreate a part. It was a cover for a photo eye. The first attempt kept failing because I set it on a small table and couldn't record the bottom. Then I set it on a shot glass on a ladder and recorded the top middle and lower as instructed. It did its thing and asked if it looked right so I uploaded it and was able to set the scale but it included the shot glass attached to it and I couldn't figure out how to split and remove so I printed the whole thing but it had to add tree support because the part was wider than the shot glass. I was amazed by how accurate it turned out. The original only had one square corner and the rest were rounded, it had a window on the side to see the photo eye's leds. An opening on the front for the sensor, sloped from front to back , an opening in the center to house the sensor and blocks in opposite corners for the screws to mount the cover to the base and they were recessed down about 4 mm. Plus an opening the the back for the wire to go in. We'll, I printed it shot glass and all but it came out about 15mm too small overall, but picked up every detail, even where the screw holes were. If the size was right I could have cut off the shot glass and it would have been perfect. I will keep it as a souvenir and maybe try again but it took 3-1/2 hours, I need to figure out how to split the object. Only had the A1 mini for a week, it's my fist 3d print and I'm 60, so much fun!

      Really glad you've been having some fun with it.
      In terms of the shotglass, if you just wanted to remove that for printing, once you've got it in Bambu Studio, you can just use the Cut tool (I explain how to use this in my Bambu Studio beginners guide and you can find it 12 mins 20 seconds in here: ruclips.net/video/kck5jv2-uao/видео.htmlsi=dpWjDDzts4sD9V9U&t=740).

    Are you limited to bambu bed size on the relief sculpture? Can you get it with out the stand? May make some good models to carve out with a cnc router into wood.

    • @3DRevolution
      @3DRevolution  9 месяцев назад +2

      The maximum width you can set is 300mm, which is larger than the length of a Bambu Labs typical bed width, but will fit on there if rotated at an angle no problem.
      I really like the idea of using this for CNC, may have to give that a try.
      Obviously if you did want larger, once exported you can just enlarge it further, it just won't add further detail to it.
      If you are using it for that though, I'd suggest perhapse turning off the 'Sharpen' switch as I feel that's going to result in what will look like 3D pixelation with a CNC build, but I could be wrong there.
      Let me know if you have any luck playing with that!

      I was suggesting that the 3d scan would work well as a model to actually design around. For instance, one could scan something complex and use that model to add a new part or design a replacement part based on the scan(imported into Fusion). I think this would be a more useful application of these scans vs. straight to print.

      @3DRevolution  8 месяцев назад

      @@MrSneakyGunz Hey sorry for the late reply. Absolutely, that is definitely one of the key applications for this sort of thing. Due to the way this scans, it whilst dimensions will be accurate relative to each other, the overall dimensions won't be accurate to begin with so you'd need to take a measurement of one specific part of your object in real life and scale the digital file so that measurement is the same, then it can be great for that sort of thing. I've got a fun mini-series looking at this sort of thing coming up in the next month or two.

    • @3DRevolution
      @3DRevolution  9 месяцев назад +1

      I actually have a lazy susan I used in the video I refer to where I'm using the Xbox kinect. However, with gausian splat style rendering, it uses reference points in the background to understand how the camera has moved in relation to the object, and even in Bambu Lab's instructions on this system it says that one of the potential reasons for it not working well is due to lack of detail in the background, for this very reason. So with this style of scanning, the camera needs to move unfortunately rather than the object. For photogrammetry, or 3D scanning that uses LiDar or depth sensors however, a Lazy Susan style setup is perfect, providing you adjust the hight of the camera after each rotation.

      Their main focus seems to be making 3D printing as easy and accessible as possible. For most of the time that 3D printing has been realistically possible for hobbyists and general consumers, it's still been largely reserved for people who want the printing itself to become a primary hobby and focus for them, making it less appealing for people who just want a tool to achieve the end goal. You don't need to be an engineer to use an HP inkjet 2D printer (though arguably my 2D printers behave worse than my 3D printers do), and that's their goal from what I can tell. Make it so everyone can have and use a 3D printer.
      The rate that they are putting out new features is cool to see though.
      Which printer are you eyeing up for your first multi-colour setup?
      The fact that their A1 Mini is compatible with the AMS Lite definitely makes that the cheapest reliable option to go for if you want multi-colour

      @@3DRevolution I started the ender 3 route a few years ago and now have that direct drive an anycubic vyper and voxelab Aquila S2 all running klipper so for me I like the aspect of upgrading and fixing and creating as my main hobby, I particularly like making RC cars boats and planes. For my friends who think it's cool and ask me for a custom part or something printed here or there a bambu lab printer would be my only advice for them to buy right now. I always compare bambu lab with the best parts of Apple and Linux you still have a good ecosystem of repository of files, a slicer that may be the best (orca slicer user) and printers that are priced and equipped for beginners (cough cough prusa), that an A1 with AMS lite is the way to go. For me and multicolor I have been thinking of two options either bambu lab and the A1 AMS lite or p1 with AMS or adding an ERCF V2 and accompanying stealth burner with mods for the ERCF to one of my printers. My only hesitation right now is the waste with the multi color systems but I print enough functional parts I can use for the waste colors purge for when ever I'm going to print multi color. And I would have to agree with you that even an Ender 3 today that you buy would be more reliable than a 2D printer that you buy from HP or Epson and that's crazy to think! 2kg of filament is the price of one ink cartridge!

    • @anthonylong5870

      Multicolor is WAY over hyped. The truth about it is that it 1. Makes MASSIVE amounts of waste, not just some but MASSIVE amounts. A file that would take say 75g of 1 color fillament could and most likely would take 300-400g of filament. With 75% being waste. 2. The time it takes for even a small 2 or 3 inch object that would take maybe 2hrs. Will take 25hrs to print in multicolor. It really isnt a very efficient tool

      It's the method that caused it but it feels a necesary step to get the user base on-board with multi-material printing.
      Multi-extruder setups (like the Prusa XL) allow multi-material printing with almost the same amount of waste as a single colour print (minus the optional purge tower).
      However, that's also significantly more expensive.
      Releasing a system like this first makes sense as it will generate market intrest in multi-material printing whilst innovations take place to reduce the cost of multi-extruder setups.

They try to make it this "have fun make a color print" thing but because of the massive waste ans immense time it takes, its really not a feasable option. I mean a 3 color 1 inch pikachu can take almost a half roll of filament just for purge. Thats not sustainable usage. The AMS is actually best for just a refill unit so you dont have to worry about filament running out during a print.

    Wouldn't it have made sense to use the same iron man mask as a test to compare the technology? Also, neither of those models is really suitable for even photogrammetry without very careful consideration, preparation and 1200 photos.....Good for you, you showed that with poor judgement you could make the technology fail, for whom is that helpful? With good judgment can you make it succeed? 🙄

    • @3DRevolution
      @3DRevolution  9 месяцев назад

      I didn't use the IronMan helmet from the previous video because A it's not in the same condition it was after 6.5 years use so wouldn't have been a fare comparison anyway, and also features heavily reflective yet semi translucent parts (the eyes) so although it has fewer smaller parts, in that respect should be far more challenging for something running a system like Gausian Splat.
      I say in the video that the drone is not a suitable one but an intentionally challenging test. The horse in gas mask however features nothing that should be problematic for this. I have a lot of experience with things like photogrammetry, having done it for over a decade including for the likes of Disney.
      I also say I didn't shoot these in the best of conditions. However, my point is that Bambu Labs' whole sales point for their printers and service is, making 3D printing accessible to everyone and making it all as easy as possible. So with that, if they are releasing a system like this where they say "record a video of an object and we'll generate a 3D model", for their audience it should at least provide moderate results in less than ideal conditions.
      This was also just my initial test of these new tools and I will be spending more time on them.
      I am sorry if you weren't happy with my video though, hope you're having a good weekend.

    I'm always surprised how the English language butchers words taken from other languages. The "relief" of a sculpture has nothing to do with the feeling when you can finally let go of your pee. It was taken from French (which probably got it from Latin) and a decent pronunciation would have been "ruh-li-ef", but from what I could find back English indeed butchered it ...
