    Tip from someone who constantly has to scan reflective and see-through surfaces: mix plaster powder and rubbing alcohol, spread it in a very thin layer on the surface you want to scan. Wait for it to dry (or use a heat gun). Now you have a white, non-reflective surface which you can rinse off with plain water

    If that's not an option then make a mold of the item, use the mold to make a cast out of non-reflective material and 3D scan the cast

    For Linus and anyone else that might be wondering, how you 3D scan something reflective, such as polished metal, the scanners use a bunch of little needles that measure dimensions. We have some at my current workplace. Keyence is the brand, though I warn you, they're not cheap haha. That's why the scan looks a little rough, as you can only fit so many needles next to each other. It's similar to those toys you used to find in stores that you could place your hand in and the pins made the shape of your hand. Take a lot of depth measurements close together and integrate basically and then you have a 3D model.

    • @Bobble84
      @Bobble84 3 года назад +26

      Can also be done using sprays such as graphite and talc, and then scanning with a laser scanner and cleaned after using an ultrasonic cleaner. It is made to sound way more complicated in this video then it really is. I have scanned many, much more complex items, which are glass with a phone app and powder technique. Specs are usually within 0.5% of the actual object and for a project such as this it would do just fine, but bravo to LTT team for the 10 million subs and for putting this diamond play button to good use. Would have just sat collecting dust otherwise.

      @@suruadamable You absolutely can solder to aluminium without using high temperatures, but the oxide layer needs to be etched first with an aluminium-specific flux. The reason why the joint is patchy is because they "roughed it up" after the first failed attempt. That probably removed some of the oxide, so the solder flowed onto and stuck to some spots, but not others.

    My first experience with a de-burring tool in the 1980's was to just use a drill bit that's bigger than the drill bit you used to drill the holes ... Gets rid of the burrs nicely ...
