3D Scan Marker Chains?

Hi!
If you ask for those magnetic markers , go to aliexpress and look for “3d scanner markers magnetic”.

I’m starting to make my own ones using those provided by Revopoint…

This is what I use to make the 10mm holes:

And this guy is the donor of the magnetic sheet:

It’s not funny that people reproduce everything before Revopoint release it , markers kit , marker rods . :joy:

But yours is actually better constructed . Is it magnetic / metal inside so you can attach marker geometries ?

These rods were not intended as a copy of Revopoint things. I created these last winter, when I bought a plate with M6 holes in it. But I’m not releasing prints regularly on printables. My Idea ist to create a kind of surrounding Rig to have markers arround my objects. But it is still work in progress (as many of my activities :wink: ) I also bought some Dices with threads in it to build the rig.
The rod is not magnetic because made of PLA (whateever it is printed of).
I’m currently waiting for the MetroX and hopefully it also flushes into the RevoPoint turntable. Is this also M6?

Всем Привет! не претендую на премию за гениальность, но делаю так -

дырявим…

ну и сам “секс” …и результат…

This is a bit of a topic now, but I also have a good trick, especially when you have to scan around the component and it is very flat.

I have finally found a modeling clay manufacturer that makes modeling clay that is only soft when warmed up; funnily enough, it’s around the corner from me. The good thing is that the modeling clay stays very dimensionally stable and lifts the markers.

Thnks for sharing! That might come handy!

Can you please share the kind of clay you used?

Do you see any advance of using the clay over clamping the edge with some kind of stainless steele clamp/clip you can put marker jig on it ?

The idea with the brackets is a good one, the markers are made of plastic, after all. You can also just heat the bracket and press it into the plastic I’ll give that a try!

The modeling clay, as I said, is from the local retailer, but they also sell it on Amazon: Becks Plastilin B100464 Knete, Weiss, 250 g, Weiß: Amazon.de: Spielzeug

The problem with the clips is that they stick exactly to the edge, but if you have magnetic markers then you can attach them to the clip in different ways.

Nice! Exactly what I thought of. :grinning:
And, does it work well?

Well, you could place them on different spots , remove them in the post process and merge scan parts without them to get a clean edge, right?

I did the scan with the Miraco. It worked very well, and I was able to scan the whole thing in one go. I could move around the object all at once. Sharp edges are a bit of an issue. With the Miraco in far mode, you don’t really achieve that. I’ve included an example of the scan here for you to see.

There was a lot of noise around it that I had to manually edit out. I think the infrared scanner just isn’t really made for things like this. Waiting for the MetroX…
