My pleasure 😊

Thanks for another great video. What i was really expecting to see was using the scan to design another part based on it. For example using the scanned body for a base to design a new cap/plug or perhaps design a gasket to seal the part better. As others have said you would possibly have been quicker doing this from scratch but for more complex parts i can definitely see this being a way to perhaps slightly improve the original design.

There will be more to come! The next scan series currently on the list is scanning the body and designing a new one. The plan is to compare the mini2 vs the miraco for something this size(might even use the Inspire as well). For things like a new plug for the cover that would certainly be possible with a TPU material but unless it screwed on a PLA just wouldn't work. it might snap in but you would probably break it trying to remove it :) If it were just a gasket, the trace on paper and 2d scan into the computer is likely much easier/quicker for that.

Loved it, thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

1:01:48 the longer you design a part the messier it becomes. There is no way around it 😂

Another great series thanks but did it fit the rc truck 😅

Fit Great! We had a bunch of b roll footage of it but im not a videographer and my editor wasn't happy with the focus :) thinking about doing a "short" and showing it. still on the truck instead of the oem part.

thanks for the video! Is there anyway you could kindly share the original mesh? for practice? thanks!

Sure, but the file sizes are large. Send me an email support@caducator.com and ill get you the point cloud data.

Is there a obvious improvement from mini to mini 2? Is it worth to upgrade if I already own the mini?

Nope I would say not. We did a mini2 review video and talked about the improvements. The actual quality of the scan is the same but you can scan a slightly larger area. It has flash leds helping with color capture and with setting the exposure. It has wifi6, so if you are scanning over wifi to a phone that will bump up the speed. and it captures at 16fps in its rapid mode vs about 10 on the old mini. In my mind not enough to justify. IF you were to add a scanner I would go to the Miraco as it has the near and far mode OR the Range if you need to scan larger objects.

is it really worth the hassle to scan an object? it seems it would be less steps and more accurate to take a picture of the base, or trace outline with a pen, then xfer into fusion as a Cnvas. Measure with caliper and go from there? love the channel btw.

That is always the decision. If you have a part that is hard to measure or more organic OR you need to compare a scan of the completed part to a CAD model of the design then 100% scan. This part could have gone either way honestly. Having the height and shape references were helpful to use as a "keep out" zone for the new design. It could have been done either way but easier with the scan in this case (in my opinion)

@@kdissedthere is no best scanner. I use Revopoint mini for small stuff, Einscan SP medium stuff like PS5 controller, Einscan Einstar big stuff more than double the size of a PS5 controller. Car interiors, Transport boxes.

@@kdissed Depends on what you want to do with it and what your budget is. In the world of scanners there is a low entry point and generally the price goes up while the quality goes up incrementally. I really enjoy the Miraco scanner. Has the ability to do near and far mode so you get 2 scanners in 1 unit. Plus the ability to have it all in a self contained unit rather than having to plug it into a laptop. It is on the higher end of the hobby/diy scanner segment. There are some new players coming into the market around the $2000 mark that I am keeping an eye on. IR Structured Light is most common for hobby/diy scanners. Miraco for example as well as others like Creality scan ferret and lizard. Blue light like the Mini2 generally gets you a little bump in performance and scanners up into the $20k+ range still use blue structured light. Laser is generally the highest price and offers the biggest performance jump. There are some coming on the scene but right now i think the Shining3d Freescan at $17k is the lowest professional grade solution in that segment. For my money the Miraco still takes the cake.
