Excellent easy tutorial 👌😎
It is excellent I’m just amazed how simple it is bravo chep 👏
Hello there, marsgizmo. Are you making a EVEN longer snake scissors?😂
Thanks @marsgizmo
When scanning anything for 3d printing place a coin on the bed also then you can check that you have scanned in the correct scale by placing the coin on a print out of your scan, if your scan is to scale the coin will fit the print, the item Chuck scanned will be easy to check the scale with the scanned item but not all iems will
A ruler also works
you don’t need to because you can measure the dimension between any 2 points on the piece, scan it, import it in fusion 360 and then scale the picture on the exact same points to fit your dimension. Works like a charm!
You can use the scanner dpi setting to get measurements. If you are scanning at 300dpi, then each pixel is 1/300 of an inch. Just measure how many pixels across and divide by 300 to get the measurement in inches.
@@Dreoni_ Yeah. If you can measure the coin, you can measure the part. Although if you have a really weird and organic shape it may be difficult without the coin.
@@incogneato6725 ' to get the measurement ' Not about getting the measurements, it's about checking that they are actually correct, and that the scanner and printer haven't altered the scale. Not really that critical on a simple clip like this, but many other things demand pretty tight tolerances.
Anything can work for a scale reference, but it's literally easier to put a ruler in both dimensions and check X and Y. Find printable rulers online, print some and check for correct dimensions, and you have a very cheap, accurate reference.
Of course once you know your scanner and printer and their stretch or shrink and corrections for it, they are unlikely to ever change. Work the exact scanner and printer correction percentages out once, and make a small file with them in it for future reference. Usually it's within a few percent of 100% for both X and Y, most things are 'fairly accurate' even when not exact..
If you do accurate things somewhat often, realize this is a very good thing to do once and have the data easily accessible. All of your future uses are made accurate with a one time minor effort.
Also note that you can simply photograph from 3 dimensions (and other sides if needed) on your phone with a contrasting background. Photos from the needed directions, import the photos to Fusion or similar, and work from them directly. Simply measure the main dimension, adjust the common dimension between photos as you're going so they all match. I did this to import the oddly shaped seat adjust control knob in my van, worked well with no real middle steps. Just scale correct the reference photos in Fusion as you're going.
Actually, scanners are pretty good measuring devices. Once You've scanned your object, all you need to do is to scale the image in vector software like Inkscape to 100% size depending on image DPI. As long as image DPI is equal to scanner DPI, You'll have pretty accurate dimensions.
Brilliant! I never thought of this way of using the printer, but as soon as I saw your tutorial today I got to try it out. I broke a bracket in a Game Boy mod kit that holds the screen in place. I scanned the pieces in and modified it a little in Tinkercad and printed it out. It all worked! Got the screen installed with my own print. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Sometimes for seasoned printers post like yours may be a bit boring. But for people who don't know how to fix their problem, it's a blessing. Thank you Chuck!
Skip a step and just import the png into cura and scale it withing the import tool. It'll save at least three steps here. I've done this using smart scan app on my phone for simple extruded parts
Tinkercad probably makes a better output stl and you get the benefit of saving the clip for future mods.
@@LeviDeHaan It actually reduces the quality using tinkercad because of the stl resolution limitation. Moreover, you can save the cura project as 3mf or export the model there. There is really no reason to add multiple steps for simple profile extrusion parts.
Thanks for the tip!
Wow I didnt know that was a thing. Thanks.
I tried png direct to Cura and the resulting print was worse quality. I got a better result using svg and my Tinkercad path.
Recently I figured that using a scanner would be a good idea for substituting missing pieces for some of my board games, but I didn't knew what else to do after scanning them to make actual 3d models... Thank you!!! Very informative videos as ever!
😲👍🏻👍FANTASTIC video, Chuck. Thanks for sharing this with us! I would never have thought to do a traditional scan to something that I wanted to 3D print
I have done this for several pieces that I needed to replace. I even scanned and 3D printed cable management covers that needed replacement. Using a paper scanner is really useful!
Wow! This will be so useful as I’m not particularly good with designing stuff on Tinkercad. Thanks 👍
I like that you use Tinkercad to make the tips accessible to the general hobbyist. I wish I had thought of using an SVG converter when re-making gears for my food processor.
That was amazing. Love this idea. There have been many times that I was looking for replacement parts that I have broken things like that clip and couldn’t figure out how to do it, but with this technique I i can do these things. Thank you for this.
Great idea. Scanning works great even for more complex shapes to have an image to use as canvas to trace over. Thanks CHEP!
WOW! You just solved a problem that I had for creating a clip for some mini blinds. That was awesome! Thank you so much.
this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen just got an ender3 a few weeks ago and now binge watching your channel. thank you
Thank you very much. You literally saved me. I've watched a lot of your videos before, but not all of them. I received a lot of useful information. I have implemented a lot of tips on my ender 3 pro. Also thanks for the many tips for working in the cura slicer. But this scanning advice is just brilliant, I don’t understand why I didn’t think of it myself. This moved me very much especially in working with printed circuit boards and different boxes. It can also be useful for working with various organizers.
Great nice and easy! Chep thank you for all the videos and amazing information you give on the 3D printing world. I got into it a few months ago and I can’t start to tell you how much your videos have helped. Just wanted to personally thank you 🙏
I usually just take a picture, but scanning is a great idea :D
I have done that in a pinch with a ruler in the background to adjust scale.
I've actually done this by scanning to png, cleaning up and resize the image in irfanview (or any image editor), and then imported that directly into Cura. I used the resize tool like an extrude in CAD and then exported the g-code.
damn that sounds simple i hve to try that sometime
i've copied a (rather simple) key in freecad using an image i made with my phone, worked 1st try :D
Excellent short cut! Well done and thanks for the tip.
Straight forward and simple! Excellent! Thank you!
I would never have thought of doing this... massive time saver, even for new parts that interface with existing parts!
Thinking about it, you can even draw freehand in pencil and use this method...
Cool idea! Nice 2D scan converted to 3D.... Thanks for sharing.
This is a great and practical beginner use for my new 3d printer. Thank you.
Hi Chep, with so many misc parts and easy fixes that don't require too much detail, I always use my 0.8mm nozzle 0.3 layer height on my Ender 3 Pro, saves sooo much time!
Great idea Chuck. You're a gentleman and a scholar.
Answers the great question of what is this thing good for! Great video!
Brilliantly simple idea that'll work so well. Thanks!
Such a simple solution for the issue! Great stuff!
Simple and easy :) awesome - I'm using your channel for quite a few tricks for Ender 3- thanks a lot!
Excellent idea ! I was struggling to make a new plate to extend my 3d printer and I hardly find the dimensional precision for the holes and the screws of the bearings on Tinkercad,
Now I will scan the original one ! Thank you, it's so simple and efficient !
Wow! I will definitely be using this trick. Thanks!
Awesome and so perfect timing. I'm using regular sony photo camera for such cases, but I always have to fight with 3d nature of camera shot. Whilst using scanner gives exact perfect 2d flat projection. Great idea, thank you!
Great instructional video that I am excited to try. Thanks for sharing!
I'm subscribed! you got me hooked on that knowledge base you store above your shoulders. You videos helped me a ton the past few days. Keep up the great work.
Just wanted to say thank you for this video- I had a very complex shape that was out of my ability to model in tinkercad. I tried your trick and I got a piece so perfect it pressure fit on.
Thank you very much. Nice idea. I own an Ender 3 and use Tinkercad and Cura as well. 👍🏻👍🏻
I had to join the fray. I've used this method quite a lot when I model parts. A few months I modeled rubber links for an old Invicta watch for a friend. I scanned it flat and on the side. A little Fusion 360 magic and shortly I had 10 and they fit and looked great. The layer lines actually gave it a nice texture. Thank you Chuck for bringing up it is a great tool.
And, congratulations on reaching over 100,000 viewers.
Thanks
Awesome. This video clears it up for me, I'm trying too get used too using tinker Cad and now it'll be much easier for me to understand. Thank you for your great contributions too the 3d printing world. Keep up the great work 👍👍
Great tutorial! Quick and informative. Getting Ender 5 Plus on Thursday. Will be trying this out in the near future.
I take pictures and turn them into svg and import into tinkercad all the time. But I never thought about using my scanner on my paper printer great tip!
Love it. Thanks for showing us how to do this Chuck, this could prove to bean invaluable tool
I've been remodeling the geometry for stuff like this, great tip!
Good call, great detail. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, thank you for posting!
It's a good idea, fast and above all effective ... Thank you
Thanks Chuck, that was a nice well explained tutorial
You just got another sub. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge and keeping it free for those of us who appreciate your efforts. Cheers brother
Super helpful video. I'll add this to my mental tool kit.
Great tutorial! Worked like a charm!
Thank you very much, perfect tutorial, easy to understand 🙂
Thanks so much. A friend of mine described how to do this and I was completely lost. Now after watching your video I understand exactly how 5o do this. Great job and videos👍🏾
It's a really good method! In addition, I normally place a ruler in the scan as well for easy scaling 🙂
Thank you for another awesome video CHEP!!!!
Great Idea! Will definitely use this next time, instead of trying to take a picture with a ruler.
I'd never even thought about using my flatbed scanner for this kind of thing its brilliant thanks for the tip.
Great tutorial ! Quick and easy.
Explained very well. Going to have to try this... Thanks!!!!
I never thought of using a scanner. Can’t wait to try this out.
You may also want to try circle your object on paper, draw origin and XY coordinate system, measure all dimensions (or coordinates) on the paper with calipers, then just enter these into your CAD. Can save you a lot of time by skipping of post-processing of scanned images, and definitely gives you more flexibility in modifying your model
Awesome!!!! Thank you. I have a drill press part that breaks for everyone that broke for me and a buddy off the exact same model of drill press. You know what it is if you never used a drill press. I was going to have to learn CAD in order to recreate it but this right here this is the way to do it! Thank you thank you thank you. Now I need to source a scanner lol.
Another great video! This will come in really handy.
Nice job, mate. Gonna try this.
this was an awesome method, thank you for sharing!
Very nice, so simple and yet so useful
Excellent idea!!! Good job!
Excellent I also did this with a bracket worked really well
Gluing the piece together before scanning is helpful.
Ive done simple parts in a similar way but with less steps by drawing the part in paint, selecting it, ctrl+c, open 3d builder, ctrl+v and that gives an extrusion of the image.
Using the scan you could easily do the same image processing as you did but pasting that straight in, without going to have it svg converted or using tinkercad.
Excellent vid as always :)
Awesome tutorial Chep 👏👏
The greatest of journeys begins with a single step... And another.. And another. Great video! I know it is daunting to think about CAD design but it also nice to be reminded that simple things like this can be done this way. AND, you can do this also with simple 2D drawings on paper with a marker. Kids love seeing their creations come to life!
Falling down stairs also begins with a single step.
😳 wow i can’t wait to try this. You sir are an excellent teacher.
Really nifty use of the tech most makers have around them at home 👍
Love it! (I literally needed this tutorial for a piece i broke weeks ago)
Ha ha ! Just did this yesterday with a broken fender spacer ...
Great minds .....😊
Love ya Chep !!!!
Really cool idea, thanks Chep :)
that is awesome way to get the shape! i used that to get a shape for a gasket and used vinyl cutting machine to cut out the very thin gasket material, it worked great. it did ruin the blade, i bought the best blade for the next time i need a hard to find gasket at midnight again. if you are working on a very old equipment and you can't find a replacement gasket. if your missing the gasket paint the part a solid color and high light the sealing surface to get the best scan to fix in " photo manipulator " program. thanks for sharing.
Thanks again for a great tutorial!
It's simpler than simple. But I actually never thought about scanning an piece. So, great idea!
This is GOLD! I Just got my new Ender V2 working properly and one thing i wanna do with it is make spare parts. Got everything i need then!'
wow, good idea. thanks for sharing
Brilliant and so easy. Thank you
Great tip! I wanted to make a mount for my thunderbolt dock, I can scan it in and make that object a hole in tinker cad. It is much easier than trying to get the right radius on rounded corners.
Well done! Great video!
First time I’ve watched one of your vids… brilliant!
Thanks!!!! Very good Tutorial!
What a great and fantastic idea. Thanks for the tip
Pretty interesting tip, Chuck! Thanks a lot! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice tip, Chuck, thanks!
Useful. I have a window fan & the clips that hold the extending covers in place broke. Had to to measure every side, angle & crevice to make new ones. Wonder if this would have saved some time & gave me a better base to work from.
Great useful and practical tutorials!
I had no idea this was possible. Thanks for showing this.
Just realized I could probably use this with drawings this is so nice
Excellent idea. I like this very much
Very useful information... Thanks
Your videos are always the best.
you are doing good work here chep
Great video as always
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us :-)
Great explanation and insight.
wow it's a great video i like it, im gonna try thanks Mr Chep
Awesome video !
Very useful.
