I purchased a POP 2 scanner in June 2022. Here is a compilation of my best work so far. **84 Magna 500 Clutch Slave Cylinder** This was scanned with AESUB blue spray. I was not able to get all of the inside of the cylinder, so I used Revo Studio to auto fill the hole. Much of what looks like imperfections around the outside of the cylinder is actually leftover gasket material. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/d/df0645f7fc7be760ddd854c497342e20963c824f.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/4/49a9a15d6cff5c44f0805873fe33c9a5e7e12a87.png) Original Part and 3D print of Scan. The scan was not oriented perfectly in the slicer, causing the surface finish on top. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/f/ff1d62c000404e6ae929b9690796842fb7528c03.jpeg) **Valve Cover** This was before I had scan spray. The other half of this cover does not have many unique features, so I was running into tracking issues since I was not using markers. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/2/2b0351d944f8dc29784fa23766051212de3815e9.png) **Saturn 5-speed transmission** Scanned without spray, the part was dirty enough to scan well without it. I could probably fill in some of those holes with additional detail scans. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/9/93ca307cc5045612df2c21eb0ae6026b87004246.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/7/7c417b20ab44d25649aa094a039afd4a9eb3c592.png) **84 Magna Side Cover** Got away with not using markers by keeping the corners or the tabs in the frame. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/a/a4637c9e774e92538ca1f2e9ca397ba7367c5eea.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/a/af930b8deaff0aa1c57f65d9e88e686b2e5bcb96.png) **81 Suzuki GN400 Motor** My most involved scan so far. The result presented here is a merge of 5+ scans. Need a few more scans to fill in the remaining holes. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/1/14d75d61349965da7afae99ef998e1726018a458.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/6/69de1ef85f38817e8b1ca165801eaf1e7228e1d5.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/4/46f13046c866bf638b914a3151f522b4e4ef39ee.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/c/cf9076785eac07490f0a19b4c4f096c8ac19554f.jpeg) **Exploded Piston** This came out of a 2-stroke golf cart. I did this in “fast scan” mode instead of high accuracy. This is a combination of 3 scans and my alignment is not perfect. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/2/255b8261164a6d432862e548cb1453852a22def5.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/9/9cea2dd2b1205e38fff0d4bf69262174ffbea64e.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/1/1cb1df520c8cb4d68c800420e099cbf9216efc0d.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/7/732cc8026d693773ba35dff56284e223121fd8dc.jpeg) ---

Excellent results. Much better than I would have expected for reverse engineering using the POP 2 (I’ve always had the best results with more organic shapes). ---

Thanks. I’ve always had the best luck scanning components that have many unique features or a complex shape. Something like the valve covers below can be difficult to scan, as they are almost symmetrical 4 ways. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/4/4c572eb7c03bfbe7439e0dae5ed3aef72f4b72bf.jpeg) ---

Structured light 3D scanners works best with scanning objects that have lots of features , simple objects are easy to model , you don’t need $1K scanner for that . Lots of features provide proper tracking points what makes it easier to scan. ---

To help you with this type of object try placing other objects around the part and keep them in view as you scan the part, a blanket or rags wrinkled up underneath the part will help round the edges, if you keep the part elevated above the blanket a little its easy to clip out in Revo Studio later ---

Thanks for the advice, I’ll have to give that technique a try. ---

It has been a little while since I have done any serious scanning. Got back into it with this motorcycle side cover. Can confirm the wrinkled cloth trick mentioned above works great for objects without many features. ![IMG_20230517_101150129_1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/8/8ebd01776fa998dcf63de63d830631aedb5cca66.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/0/0f76d09e2b601e86c4264df97f4be850ab2c1d0e.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/0/0e1ee566838a9867ea7c7c18d7773ac39b6e76a2.jpeg) ---

Great job Adam !
