I was blown away by your anecdote about the dino bone. I'm very new to your channel (found it yesterday), so I only know that you did previous photography/videography work. I enjoyed the Nova content I watched in the past, so I was excited to learn you had associations with PBS. I've been getting into 3D printing recently, and enjoy making my own designs in Solidworks. 3D scanning appeals to me because of the possibility of modifying existing works. Keep up the great content in this series! I am highly interested in detailed tutorials and direct comparisons of scanners and scanning apps.
Another excellent video - thanks! If you don't have any of the white matting spray to hand, I've found that a light dusting of talcum powder works just as well - but it does have the disadvantage that it needs to be removed afterwards, which might make it unsuitable in some situations. Looking forward to the season finale!
I love your videos. found the channel a month ago and already a huge fan. regarding the video - the owl is the simplest possible object. It's like the cat model Creality sends their printers with. A good test of accuracy would be to scan a bolt and to test the nut on the printed version. 0.2mm nozzle would also help prove the accuracy
Glad you like the channel and thanks very much for your feedback. Absolutely the owl is intended as a 'best case scenario' scan to show what it can do without difficulties. I really like your suggestion of scanning and printing a bolt, I'll definitely be keeping that in mind for future tests, thanks!
I am not kidding, I thought this video was an 2024 Ai bot, designed to get comments. You know, designed so it is so so so bad, people that know 3d scanning will try and HELP, with good feedback. I was surprised you didn’t acknowledge how pretty much all 3d scanners, struggle with reflective surfaces, but the Creality Otter does an amazing job in comparison.
I'm sorry you find my video "so so bad". That's very dissapointing to hear. This is one video of a 6 part series I recently did on 3D scanning and I mention throughout the series about how most forms of 3D scanning struggle with reflective, transparant, and black surfaces. I actually have a section in this video showing how to overcome reflective surfaces. In my experience, whilst the CR-Scan Otter is far from the worst at dealing with reflections, I've not found it to be leaps and bounds beyond alternatives out there. In the final episode of this series I compare the CR-Scan otter to 4 other types of 3D scanning and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. Again, I'm sorry for being so incredibly bad that you thought I was an AI plot do farm interaction online. I hope you have a good weekend and don't feel I've wasted too much of your time.
"CR-Scan Otter 3d scanner is compatible with Mac, Windows, IOS, Android Systems." My entire engineering and manufacturing tool chain is open source. If there was a Linux version of the software, I'd consider it, but I'm not buying a Mac just to scan objects. I need to keep looking, hopefully for an open source 3D scanning solution.
Nice technical overview in the beginning segment, unlike any other.👍👍. Pretty good introduction and overview as well. Highly underrated video.❤👍

you're the goat
No, you're the GOAT!
what about something like an orange pi or lepotato? its tiny and can be portable
Whats the software like that processes the scan data. Have you found it stable and intuitive?

dry foot spray works well
Uh, yeah, I want to print that bone.
