Dell messed up the replacement of a heatsink on my laptop and elected to replace the whole machine rather than repair it. Received it yesterday and had a scan scheduled for today so I rushed thru the setup and testing and got it ready to work. Booo tech, Yeah Dell support!
A friend of mine wanted his exact pistol with his accessories scanned and printed as a dummy gun for training so he brought it over and I got to work scanning.
The MetroY Pro did a great job, took me ~2hrs including some setup issues and recalibrating for the current temperatures here. I did 4 different scans and merged them.
I’ve got a few programs that’ll let me edit the mesh, but not well.
Hard to believe that the 'Y scanned the glass in the optic.
Wondering if Revo can do what I need to do, which is remove the glass from the optic, then make watertight. So I don’t have to cut the glass out with the dremel, lol.
Last time I tried it was selecting too much and I gave up and did it in my reverse engineering app…kinda clunky tho.
If you cutting out parts , I recommend you mesh it at the highest level possible to avoid bad edges after curing , then you can simplify the mesh after and reduce the polygons count to what you need yet preserve the details .
I do it often when cutting out parts too to avoid jagged edges .
Usually I do that in my 3D editing software but because Revo software allows you to work much easier and faster with much bigger scans , it is very useful workflow .
which editing software are you using? I tried it with Revo last night and it was painful, did not complete it by bedtime so I’m going to continue on tonight.
beasty !
