Scan looks good , Instant Meshing is good for mechanical parts , it reminds me of retopology used in Quickface and Modo .
However I can get better retopology in Zbrush with 3 times lower size model that Instant meshing generate , but hey it is free and do the job faster , nothing to complain about .
BTW you should include link to download , some people may be interested

I might invest in another software subscription. But first I kind of want to figure out what I’m doing.
Currently I’m a fusion 360 subscriber.
It’s kind of odd how well 3D paint works that just comes with Windows
Also was going to sit down and try Windows 3D builder.
See if there’s any thing worthwhile there.
I wish Fusion 360 wasn’t quite as clunky with meshes. I think I might spend some money to upgrade my computer a little bit. Maybe a better CPU and some more RAM.
I also preordered a 3D printer in November hopefully it’ll be here this November and I can start learning how to use that thing as well.
Right now the majority of my fabrication is sheet metal. I have a small CNC plasma machine that I quite like. Hoping to bring all these techniques together in a few years.

To the 3D models themselves?
For sure next time i am in fusion 360 I could toggle on downloads
Yes model is good , I included the link to download the Instant Meshing software already .
Very nice @TinWhisperer , love the details , you may include sometimes shots without the textures to see the model details

I received my mini yesterday.
I downloaded the new Revo scan software and did the firmware update just as the directions outlined.
I was able to make a couple scans before I left for work today using the dual axis table and everything worked as it should.
I also took a couple infrared photos of the mini just to see what the heat build up would be like after an hour of operation.
It got up to almost 41° c and stabilized with an ambient Air temperature of 20° c
The one complaint I had was one of the lenses seems to have dirt or glue sandwiched in between the layers I don’t know if it’ll affect the accuracy of the scan ? @Revopoint3d-Selina
And an observation I made at is that this color yellow is completely invisible to the mini.
Hopefully this weekend I get some more time to use this device.

That is the RGB camera , make a color test to see if it affect anything , very rare …
This kind of yellow definitely, yellow and any colors that have yellow like brown, orange and green will be affected as they absorbing blue , you will need to increase the gain settings to be able to capture the objects with those colors , sometimes it will not works like green from a plant as I was not able to scan pineapple but was ok scanning my bath duck lol the gain was on 10 .
First scan all colors as usual then next rotation use gain at the proper brightness to capture the rest of the colors that was not captured in first place .
And congrats on your new tool

Hi @TinWhisperer
Thanks for letting me know. For these two questions, please do what PUTV said first, as PUTV is very good at 3D scanning and also knows our products with a long enough history of using them. If any further questions, please message me or email customer@revopoint3d.com.

I tried to scan the same ammonite with the mini this morning and it turned out great.
Emanate was the first scan I made with my pop too at the top of this topic.
The results of the mini are a lot crisper.
For some reason I couldn’t upload any version I exported from Revo scan into Fusion 360? Maybe too big?
I also use the standalone Bluetooth app for the dual access turntable and it also worked well
Big thanks to @X3msnake on that!

Much too big model to use with Fusion , it need to be simplyfied to 250K in Revo Studio, you still get the same details but 80% smaller model.
When you do, start simplyfied function slowly by 100K down until you like the results , so if your model is 1 milion , start at 900K and move down to 800, 700 etc …step by step for best results .
I usually stop by 250K .
Fusion was not build to handle huge models like that so it is only option you have here , the Revo Studio doing great job with the simplyfy option .
Great scan BTW , very nice details …

Liking the thread. Any start tutorial how to start to recommend? Currently jumping between various youtube videos to build the knowledge and its very time consuming (Revo Pop2)

Hi @TinWhisperer,
Yes, that is glue, which won’t affect the accuracy of the scan. Every device may have a similar situation. Please don’t worry.
If you meet any problems in the future, you can feel free to contact us.
Best Regards
