Still trying to figure out the best way to capture the details of the Vent.

Had another scanner before and had a hell of a time to get even a clean scan. I didn’t try as hard with the Mini yet but it looks promising.

You’ll get the most accurate captures of a straight edge if the imaginary line between the scanner’s two sensors is parallel to it (you can move the scanner in an arc around that edge to improve results further).

I’ll try that didn’t have much room the location I was testing in.
