I've been looking at a number of these reviews of these entry level scanners, and finally found yours. My full time job, I use Creaform Handyscan and Faro arm, and have often wondered about the accuracy of some of these $1000 scanners. Yours answered my question. I'm actually more impressed then I would have expected, especially for the money. I completely agree with your assessment of this unit. Definately wouldn't want to use it for high end engineering / reverse engineering, but looks like it would work well for some work with not as high specifications. I reverse die blocks, and have clearances of typically 0.1 to 0.2mm cutting clearance, so wouldn't work for that, but would work great for some home projects or even less critical die components. (raw castings is a good example) Thanks for the great info.
Yep, Its great for the price. It struggles on small parts. The software is lacking but apparently the new update is great, I havent tried it yet though.
So I have been spending tremendous time digging into the user experience i will get having an AMD Radeon graphics based PC and it seems as though I may need to look at either getting a new PC or going with Creality Otter. I just received a response from Einstar, as follows: "einstar: Thank you for your message and for your kind words of support! We truly appreciate your enthusiasm for our products. You're correct-our software currently leverages NVIDIA's CUDA technology, which means it requires an NVIDIA GPU for optimal performance. We understand that this can be an unexpected hurdle, especially after all the research you've done. If you decide to explore other options in the meantime, we completely understand. Please know that we'll be here whenever you're ready to revisit our solutions. Our team is constantly innovating, and we hope to support your projects in the future. Thank you again for your understanding and for being part of our community."
When you say you have to delete and start over again because you don't have a return button, you are wrong in that, if the scanner makes something wrong and creates something that is not there, you just need to press and hold Shift down and mark the area (with the lazo) that is wrong with the left click of the mouse, and delete that area, and once done, you can keep scanning.
@@ARTpocalypseStudio I understand that and I use it often. The problem is usually it places data over the good data and I'm selecting so much to delete its usually easier to start over. Not always but usually.
There is a new software out. I think at the time you made the video it was already live. With this version you can rewind the scan. But it takes a lot of time rewinding. Be patient..
Dear Sirs , Please (We are a Classic racing Team . We are Spanish guys) , May you help us ?. WE ARE DREAMING TO ADJUST/SWAP the Reverse Project . We have a complete 1198S and 1 916 (modified, a few longer) SwingArm .
Hello, I purchased this scanner a while back but I haven't purchased a laptop yet to use with the scanner. Do you have any suggestions about which laptops would be a good choice? Thank you
High end gaming laptop with 64gb with NVIDIA gpu or a Gaming Laptop with a 3000 Nvidia gpu with 16gb and do the point cloud merging on a powerful desktop PC with 64gb ram. Or buy a CR Otter. 16GB ram should be enough and a IGPU is working too. But it could reduce scan fps.
Translation If you compare the accuracy of the scanner at the beginning of work and after 1 hour, as it heats up, you will be surprised at how large the error is. As an Einstar owner, I am very disappointed with this scanner, especially after buying the Ender. Yes, Creality has bad software, but Einstar's software is not perfect either - you won't be able to scan a car in 0.2 resolution, the algorithms won't be able to build a mesh. But Ender with its terrible software can do it, and the accuracy of Ender according to my measurements is ultimately higher than that of Einstar.
It’s a Cost benefit analysis and case of diminishing returns you could spend $2000 to get 0.1 accuracy or $78000 more to get down to 0.02accuracy . It comes down to what your scanning 4 thou off plus or minus is 0.2mm off actual so if your looking to scan a dash for a 3d caddy or foot well or bumper you’re probably pretty good with cheapy. Have you seen the creality raptor? That has 7 blue laser lines for 1500. The guy “Payo” has a few vids on that and the otter. I swore to never buy Chinese stuff if I can avoid (due to monopolist approach and potential to be a major adversary in the next few years) But when the next closet scanner is $8000us plus. For the peel scanner it’s hard to go past. I’m in Australia so we pay 70% more on exchange rate so it’s 2300 vs 13000AUD plus duty and import fees landed. I’m debating on ordering the creality raptor and hope I don’t get burned - use it for learning and establish time of use. Ie if I use every day vs 1 per month. If use lots and getting paid fir use then worth getting a handy scan black elite limited.
They now have an undo button. Also you can delete part of scan by selecting it. Also, new version also has texture alignment, which if you have gaffer tape with hand written numbers or letters, it can use that for alignment. Of course you could also use reflective markers and 3D scanning spray.
You should checkout the new Creality hybrid scanner. It has both NIR (near infrared) and 7 line laser scanning. It is the first consumer metrology grade scanner. As it is right now at release, it’s accurate to 1 thousand of an inch(0.02mm). At $1500US it’s a bit crazy, as the equivalent professional metrology grade hybrid 3d scanner is ten times the price. Please buy one and do a follow up comparison, the exactly the same way as this video. Great video! I was about to buy an Einstar scanner until the Creality Raptor 3d scanner was released. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️
problem with the raptor is the FOV and the amount of markers you need, also every maker costs you some surface detail, i would get a used einscan HX, more expensive but sooo much better also NIR mode on the raptor is shit, creality otter is way better at that so only the laser mode is good for something but only small stuff
@@austrian_s60r64you would need markers for the EinscanHX in laser mode too. The only difference is the HX has cross lasers and better software but cost much, much more. I used NIR mode to scan a mobile AC last week to add duct work for the input and output air. Wasn’t that bad. Some tracking losses (feature mode) but no ghost capture date. Worked out fine.
Looking at your ghosting issue, where it created doubled up geometry, maybe your fixture table is causing the issue, as the fixture holes are perfectly symmetrical in all directions. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️
For my opinion, this is being a drama queen. If you ride a rally or enduro bike on trials like that, it will happen again with different issues on different bikes. No need to mention KTMs fuel pupm issues right? What is worth to mention is you were able to fix it so easily and kept on running. Thats what matters if you ride on trial. And dont forget that you bought a unicorn.
For your base model using the Creaform Black Elite Scanner did you use targets to help the alignment of the scan data or was that done using just features? Must say I'm very impressed by the accuracy of the Einstar scanner when put alongside a much more expensive option.
Hey I had the same problem with the corded version 2023. The blade will jump out of the guide and cut at an angle and really screw up your cut, causing it to meander all over the place. I threw mine in the trash. My other tools from Bauer work great, but the jigsaw will not hold the cutting blade straight in the guide, especially for thicker wood such as 3/4 in my case
I have a different set of 15x8s Id like to run, but they are 4x100 so Ill need adaptors. They are rays gramlights 57dr in white. Those and a taller tire are the plan currently.
Excellent info. Much appreciated. I'm just now learning my Einstar and you're right; you're very much on your own to learn its patterns. But that happens pretty quickly and I'm really happy with the quality. This thing is well worth the price and very useful.
Nice video, good walk through of using the Einstar. Slight correction: Design X _does_ allow you to compare two mesh bodies using "Mesh Deviation" function. You're right, however, that the Accuracy Analyzer will not.
That leaves a sour tasty in the mounth for sure. Hope you overcome this and enjoy this bike. I'm a prospect buyer and watching real owners experiences.
It is a strange failure. I have not found the root cause yet. Since this video I have wired the bike back to stock and replaced all the fuses. Around 15 miles later I had the "ignition" fuse blow. Since then I have I have put 200 more miles on the bike with no issues. Kind of stumped but I still love the bike.
