X3msnake - INSPIRE 3D Scanner Showcase

For custom insoles you need to scan the bottom of your fit while standing on glass or plexy glass for best fit … for that reason most people creates imprints on a special foam and scan it after for reverse engineering of the insoles .

I am thinking to make a 3D print of the feet and use them as a planter… I like bizarre and unique stuff :grinning:

Yes but taking a foot selfie while standing on glass is a challenge :slight_smile:

Besides the opensource software Gensole does not require that

That foot planter idea is quite nice. might look into doing a rotocasting or slush mold from cement of my foot :stuck_out_tongue:

The cement idea is nice , would be great for a garden decor with some plants inside . Or just as an ornament under a bush :laughing:

But the foot changes it’s form while standing including toes .
Orthopedic insoles required that position .
No standing foot will never provide the proper support if insoles are based on it …
That’s a fact !
If you create simple insole based on the overall form and size only , then it is another subject . I refered to orthopedic insoles created from 3D scans to support proper the arch and foot position while walking .

yes, for that you need pressure scan or you can rig bones and do a simulation (not) :stuck_out_tongue:

Here’s the back scan @ivan it is not as clean since i ran out of sublimation spray and had to go IPA-Cornstarch

thank you!!:beers: I hope the miraco survived the scan unharmed :astonished:

Yeah no problem, just a bit more time to cleanup, first with a dry soft brush, and then with a damp soft brush.

IPA evaporates fast and with enough corn starch to IPA on a good thin mist spray it dries almost instantly, caveat is rougher scanned surface

IPA is safe on electronics but it is corrosive on LCD monitors .
It can crack and swell also the rubber as it is not rubber friendly.

And should be not used at higher than 70 %

Cornstarch is ok to use on bare metal because it is anti corrosive as long there are no acidic and oxidative agents .

But boy , I don’t want to clean that thing after with a regular brush … maybe a vacuum with a soft brush would be best to avoid dust .

I know you are always very brave but …

I hope you protect you eyes and lungs white spraying and cleaning.

Always, and cornstarch being organic is less dangerous than talc if it gets airborne.

Forgot to mention i taped shut the lenses and the projector to avoid dust contamination.

IPA and cornstarch in a fine mist is quite stable to use as it dries almost instantly once it reaches a surface and the startch stays put if you do not touch it but you need to plan how you gonna move the part for that same reason.

But yeah, safety always… it is good enough of a scan for quick reference :slight_smile: thanks for the concern
