Handy tip for Scanning objects

I found these online, they are 2 aligator clips joined together by titanium wire.

I needed to scan an extruder housing for my 3D printer, so i tried using the clips to position the object so I could easily scan it. iit looks messy, but it worked really well.

Nice! Just ordered some Clips, though not identical. I’ve found some with a magnet base - might also come in handy with the Dual-Axis Turntable :thinking:

Do you think of these?

They are great because of soft tipps, but the screw holes on dual axis turntable aren’t magnetic (enough?) so you will need some kind of adapters . For magnetic surfaces and light stuff , they are fine. Here I use them with revopoint’s magnetic kit and metal poles.

I’d get both. THX @Scan2Model for sharing!
