Hi all.  
I couldn’t be bothered to spend the additional £65 for a 360 turntable, although i do think it should be included in the package as a standard - It will make for a better user experience at this early stage in Revopoint.

I went and purchased a generic 360 turntable off amazon in black. It has 3 speeds and turns both clockwise and anti-clockwise.

The only thing missing is the markers.

Does anyone have an overlay/pattern of where the markers need to be - i assume the POP software has some understanding.

There is no fixed pattern required. In Marker mode, the POP only needs for the markers to be randomly placed (no repeating patterns).

During scanning, at least 6 markers must be visible at all times. Doesn’t have to be the same 6 (this allows you to scan larger areas that have markers in them, too).

Here is a picture of mine that came with it. I am pretty sure Jeff is right about not having any certain pattern.

Oh and the turntable you purchased will be a LOT better than this one as it still makes me mad they did not give us the variable speed turntables like they said in the kickstarter ☹

Thanks for the pic. I plan to follow a similar pattern as its probably tried and tested.

I think the one I have is slightly smaller. The buttons can be fiddly.

Apparently…if you have the technical know how you can mod the revopoint version with a variable resistor (potentiometer).
