The wire diameter is 1.21mm. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/6/6e27f76ff985153ea6bc5237769efef51e09cfaf.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/7/7c190625b516740d99636da3dcd5c6d694b02de9.jpeg) First of all the reflective metal surface of the paperclip was prepared by spraying Aesub. I vertically blocked the paperclip with plastic clothespin, placing it on the turntable. the plastic Clothespin holds the paperclip vertically, and facilitates tracking. I did two full rotations by changing the angle of the MINI (mode: Feature - High Accuracy. Fusing Point Cloud: 0,02 mm) The two separate scans were merged with Revo Studio. ![Senza nome 5](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/e/ed291e1740c5d71aa1b183013144f9fe47d4ce8f.jpeg) Then the Point Cloud has meshed. ![Senza nome 6](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/9/948e6c176b400e95187e2ee908d0b271736824ac.jpeg) Below is the result. ![Senza nome 14](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/e/ecb1e05b4c51ed45ef561ec78217db06f2544bd0.jpeg) Greetings to all and see you soon If you want to back the MINI, here is the link: [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2125914059/revopoint-mini-3d-scanner-with-002mm-precison?ref=4x1jkg](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2125914059/revopoint-mini-3d-scanner-with-002mm-precison?ref=4x1jkg) Other tests with Revopoint MINI at the following links: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/5/5c91655911bf7908e2518d9eb9f29e925a263d00.jpeg) [https://forum.revopoint3d.com/t/mini-revopoint-study-of-the-surface-traces-on-wooden-sculpture-18th-century-with-macro-3d-scanning/](https://forum.revopoint3d.com/t/mini-revopoint-study-of-the-surface-traces-on-wooden-sculpture-18th-century-with-macro-3d-scanning/) [https://forum.revopoint3d.com/t/revopoint-mini-first-tests-with-new-scanner/](https://forum.revopoint3d.com/t/revopoint-mini-first-tests-with-new-scanner/) > [@Revopoint MINI - complete 3D scanning of 70 cm tall sculpture](https://forum.revopoint3d.com/t/revopoint-mini-complete-3d-scanning-of-70-cm-tall-sculpture/16517): > > Hello everyone, as promised I will post the result of the scan of a 72 cm tall sculpture, completely made with the MINI. I made a series of scans (0.02 resolution) which I then merged into Meshlab and meshed with CloudCompare. The model obtained rather large (over 4 million points) but the result satisfies me. As you can see the porous, eroded, wrinkled surface has been acquired by the scanner. The fine details of the surface modeling are recorded in the 3D model.
