CREALITY CR-Scan Otter 3D Scanner Review | Wide Scanning Range | No scanning spray required

[@1jmatto]

I love the level of detail you go into reviewing the Otter. I would love to see a comparison video on the Otter vs. Raptor.

[@BusterBeagle3D]

I don't have a Raptor but did see it in use at a convention and it looked pretty cool but I don't have any personal experience with it.

@@BusterBeagle3D Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment.

Thank you Thanks for sharing. Had your results been 3D printed with a MSLA 3D Printer they would have been identical to the Original. I Printed The baby owl with a SLM Metal 3D printer and it came out great in Aluminum.

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Saw your video of the owl in metal. Very impressive!

[@LeadDennis]

Thank you for your hard work. You are a busy guy.

Cracker review Ryan. Thanks and well done. Hope you are well ;)

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Hey Sean. Great to see ya still around. Everything is going well. Thank you and I hope the same for you.

How much better is the result when placing the object on a post on a turntable and putting the scanner on a tripod that can be moved up and down during the scan process?

[@BusterBeagle3D]

I personally liked being hand held and you can somewhat adjust your own speed and angle easier and didn't have as much luck myself with the tripod and automatic turn table but didn't really try to work with it that much either to be fair.

thank you🖖

Hi, You‘ve created a very nice basrelief from a 3D Scan of your daughter. How exactly did you do this? Software? Christoph

[@BusterBeagle3D]

It's a little convoluted. I use a 3D molding package similar to Blender , it's called Maya but not free like Blender so I would recommend Blender. Then I scaled the model to make it flatter like you would see on the coin. Once I was happy with the model I exported it as an .STL. I then ran that .stl through a free online stl to heightmap website (fenrus75.github.io/FenrusCNCtools/javascript/stl2png.html?fbclid=IwAR3xyOvPmCtofyY-vcXsePzkrVv1I_CL6l-RDGpRLhU1pLNcuOEG66_SylI) which converted it to a image that I could then use in Lightburn with their Slice 3D process of generating layers from the heightmap to engrave in 3D on the coin. If you look up creating 3D coins in Lightburn on KZbin you should find some videos on it.

[@richardtepas4832]

is this a new model or are there versions of the Otter scanner. I see discounts on it, always afraid that it is a earlyer version

[@BusterBeagle3D]

I am not aware of any other versions of the otter. I think this is the only model they have sold.

my i phone 11 gets these results via apps

[@roeschdan]

Which app?

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Like I said in the video there is lots that can be done with phones nowadays and I have used 3D scanners apps with great results on my phone but honestly never to the high quality I achieved with this scanner.

[@arsramdha5601]

Iuse iphone 15 and samsung phone to try 3d scanner app. none can get high quality as this scanner. Iphone scanner are great but not as good as this scanner.
