3D Scanning Showdown: Which is the best | 3D Scanning Series

[@802Garage]

The CR-Scan option seems pretty solid! Seagasket was hilarious and a great test. After your last video I managed to snag a CR-Scan Ferret SE on eBay for only $150. I know it is the lowest end scanner on the market basically, but I figured it's a great way to get into it and for $150 I really can't lose. Early reviews were mixed, but it seems the firmware and software have gotten a lot better over time. If it's even half as good as the Otter I'll be thoroughly impressed. Keep up the good work!

Would love to see more videos on iPhone apps and specifically looking at apps that use Face ID

[@Brahen]

Always with great quality videos!❤❤

[@3DRevolution]

You're the best! Happy printing!

i used a dji drone to fly around my jeep, filming at 4k @120 fps. I then used VLC player to extract each frame as an image and used meshroom to reconstruct it. other than the clear glass it did well, to the point you could see the cracks in the asphalt

I've used kinect 1 in the past with ok results. Not great, but enough to make a low resolution 3d print of myself and some relatives. Also, with a bit of time, it can be a very accurate template to have as a guide modelling the object in blender and such. Great video, btw

Enjoyable series, thanks

I have a CR-scan ferret and i have no issue with it via my phone app and i still use it on my desktop when the object i am scanning is moveable. Plus if needed i can scan with the phone app and use the desktop to process the entire model. For the price i am happy with it, and i got it on sale at the time.

[@crabbatt]

Can you compare the CR scan farret with the Kinect V1 and the Kinect V2? I would be curious if the more affordable CR Scanner is actually comparable.

[@3DRevolution]

Stay tuned :)

Kinects use IR emitter to project dots on the subject. This makes them suitable for indoor use, but useless outdoors do to all the IR light from the sun. iPhones, and likely most handheld scanners use lidar, which is better suited for outdoor use.

[@3DRevolution]

Yeah I cover this earlier in the series but thanks

[@JGDeRuvo]

How about lidar scanning with Polycam?

[@Liberty4Ever]

The Creality Otter produces impressive results but earns a 4.2 rating at Amazon, and based on those comments, people didn't like the requirement for a powerful computer, and had trouble scanning anything but the owl sample that shipped with the scanner. Apparently, the software would generate errors for "lost tracking" or "insufficient valid scanned points". My biggest issue is the requirement to use Windows or Mac. I'd like Linux support, but apparently they're working on iOS and Android support, although I don't know how that's going to work if the PC software requires an i& processor, high end graphics card and 32 GB of free RAM.

@@3DRevolution - Ooh! Teasers! Subscribed and waiting. It honestly feels like it's time for open source 3D scanning to emerge, or a better and cheaper commercial alternative. I'd honestly be happy either way as long as I'm not forced to use Microsoft or Apple products. Thanks for the tip!

@@Liberty4EverYou can always build a DIY SLS scanner with a projector and a camera. Two softwares you can use are free and pretty good: HP Scan V5 and FlexScan3D.

@@Liberty4Ever I just picked up a CR-Scan Ferret SE for $150! It has a lot of similar reviews, but I noticed that most of them are old. I think the CR-Scan software and firmware was far worse a year or more ago and has improved a lot. More recent reviews, including video reviews, are much more positive. My fingers are crossed!

[@rudolphvanthoff1391]

Just picked up a v1 Kinect from a local secondhand shop for $4.99 AUD ….. Also have an iPad Pro m4, watch this space!

[@jon880215]

It would be intresting so "fuse" the Cr sacnner to a windows handheld like the ROG ally with 3d printing.

[@3DRevolution]

Really fun idea. I don't have an ROG Ally but I do have a SteamDeck with Windows
