I am thinking of picking one of these up. www.3dprintersbay.com/he3d-ciclop-diy-3d-scanner-for-3d-printerThese have decent reviews and are open sourced... Amazon sells them as well I think. I only buy from amazon if there is about a 50/50 shot I would return it though lol.  There have been a few things I have wanted to scan.... plus hobby king sucks at getting their parts in, so I can scan their parts they can't manage to stock and sell those lol. My first project is I want to scan the nose for my alphastrike and make a relatively aerodynamic nose that has a runcam thumb in it like the dolphin. |

Yep it would be pretty cool to have one of those. Think I might start dropping Xmas hints to the wife LOL, think I will do a little research on one of those.

That looks pretty cool. A little concerning that all the reviews are from 2016 and 2017.

A little concerning that all the reviews are from 2016 and 2017. From what I have read, they are a good low cost mediocre quality system. I am not trying to scan action figures here, and realistically, it isn't anything you couldn't clean up in a CAD program of your choosing. That and really the only options "better" than those types start at about $500-600 which I am not willing to spend. |

As an update. This thing is pointless for me and most of the world.
No one keeps up with the software, and it probably would have been mediocre at best. So you have to dig into the wayback machine or find some sketch non github download for it.
The camera that comes with it, the drivers aren't available for windows 11.
So essentially it is a dated kit still on the market with no software support. I got burned I suppose. I'll probably trash the kit as opposed to digging up all of the crap and going through the effort to try and make it work, probably at more expense.
It was a cool idea, it just fizzled out.
Do not buy.

That's a shame. With as popular as 3D printers are becoming you'd think scanners would be getting more attention instead of less. Thanks for the warning.
