3D scanning with the Creality CR-Scan Otter 

Cheers Craig 😁

Thanks for watching. I haven’t really thought about hiring but it’s a good idea. If I get another to use, I might consider hiring out this one.

Hi Steven. I hadn't looked at this yet as I don't have a 3D printer. It looks like the options I have on Windows and Mac are the same. PLY, STL and OBJ.

@@DartsideScenics I have got a few 3D printers, two creality ender 3's that I don't use now as I got an Adventurer M5 which I got for £250 from their website which was a good price, the printer is fast and very easy to use, unlike the creality types which takes some time setting up, then I got the scanner for something else and also got an Ellegoo Neptune max for doing full sized heads for a project I am working on. I think the scanner and the more up-to-date printers really make the possibilities of creating something that can be used by others an incredible opportunity for commercial and hobby shenanigans. I would recommend the Adventurer M5 as a great starting point for quick, easy and reliable prints. I printed a full sized head scn on the ellegoo that took a few days and 1.2 reels of filament as the head was simply filled in, but I had also used blender to smooth out the surfaces of the scan which worked out quite amazingly. I'll be using the idea to print a new dummy head microphone design, then cover the prints in a very thin coat of rubber, then to cast it, and then use the mother mould for making fibreglass heads, with luck, I can't believe that there is this technology that is so easy to get to enable laymen folk to have wonderful opportunities to do so much with their computers these days, its amazing really. Thanks for the video, I was unaware of the merge facility!

Thanks for this information - I'm very new to this so it's very useful to have recommendations. I agree that it's amazing what you can create at home with the technology available.

Which bit do you mean?
