For scanning small objects with a Mini2, I’ve made some 3d printed marker blocks and wondering if adding some 2mm and 1.5mm marker stickers onto the blocks would provide any value in terms of tracking and for varying the patterns.
I am not sure, but i don’t think so.
I tried 6mm and 3mm combined and as far as i experienced the diameter was not recognized. Only the position of the center. I couldn’t get any better tracking by varying the size.
Only advantage of smalker markers is the less space used, but therefore harder to capture.
Keep us updated how it works for you.
I gave these 1.5mm (inner) diameter stickers a shot, and it looks like the Mini2 scanner is picking them up. I did not realize that they are unfortunately non-reflective, so I foresee them potentially not being picked up in certain scenarios… perhaps? But 1.5mm seems to be registering! I think I will use these in conjunction with the reflective 3mm (inner) diameter guys… just to establish some randomness if the patterns become too regular in some instances. From what I understand so far (I’m very new to this) – you don’t want to have repeating patterns with these stickers, and it’s kinda hard to vary them when you are putting them on repeating forms and if you have a lot of these marker blocks (I printed a good handful of them) so my experiment is to introduce these small guys where I see a pattern that looks too similar to other ones. Maybe I am over-thinking all of this, who knows… but it’s fun to experiment and learn
