That was really cool! I’m keen to see how the Raptor compares to the Otter when using the NIR mode. From what I’ve heard the otter rivals the king of budget 3d scanners the Einstar. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀☮️😎

What slicer do you use ? I tried to convert ply to stl and i could not make it. I’m using raptor from creality
@DraftID4 ай бұрын
I was using bambu slicer. You should be able to export as stl in the crealityscan software. I think ply is for cloud data exports.

Nice video. I noticed you did a series of videos about the CR Scan Lizard about a year ago. What do you consider to be the key differences between the Lizard & Otter?
@DraftID5 ай бұрын
I did and plan to do one for Otter too but more directed towards the new crealityscan software. Which itself is probably the biggest difference is they use different software and I find the newer crealityscan software is nice to use. The otter is also much faster to scan liek you can move over an object quicker and it also resyncs faster and more accurate if it loses tracking. Oh the colour mapping is way better too. Something that would take an hour on the lizard and probably crash, only takes 5-10mins on the otter.

@@DraftID thank you for the feedback. I’m definitely going to upgrade from the Lizard to either the Otter or possibly the Raptor. Still trying to work out if the Raptor will be worth the extra expense.

@@peverington if your doing full on reverse engineering and really small objects, I think the raptor but if just wanting a good scanner get the otter.

If I have to turn an object over, will this unit be able to merge two scans together, or perhaps a job for Blender? Also, could you test some driftwood or similar, about 3/4 meter long?
@DraftID5 ай бұрын
It works two ways. Either it will realign and continue the scan, or you can stop the scan and create a second or more scans which you can then merge together and process. Its actually quite good at merging the scans together provided you give it enough detail to figure out some common areas to align together.

Awesome video mate liked and subbed. A few questions as I’m looking to buy my first scanner for my 3D printing product business: 1. How do you think it will scan a black internal box - like the centre console compartment of a car? 2. What’s the computer specifications you’d recommend or minimum? 3. What’s the dimensional accuracy of that print? Could you design products off that scan data and have it reliable - +/- 0.5mm? Thank you kindly!
@DraftID5 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching and engaging. 1. Typically scanners are pretty bad with black but from what I have seen with the otter it does really well. I was scanning black controllers and was fine. 2. They say win 10/11, 7th gen cpu, dedicated gpu, 16gm ram 3. a print that small came out pretty much the same but I don't have the tools to dimension accuracy. Another guy on YT called poyo (search poyo otter) did some accuracy tests which could be worth checking out.

HI, I received this scanner for testing, and I'm fighting like hell to try and scan small objects. Have you managed to do it? I've tried using a small smartphone plate for coins, but the result is very ugly, and a conchioglie - same thing, nothing works, and if I remove the subject and put the owl back on, it works perfectly! It's driving me crazy! I scan a Ryobi screwdriver with its slightly shiny black chuck, it's fine, even the chrome ring at the end, the black parts, nickel, but if I want to scan a small black object, a piece of wood, it's a disaster! What about you?
@DraftID5 ай бұрын
Its possible that its too small an object or that tracking markers might help. I plan to do a video soon showing a range of objects which might give you tips for the type of objects your scanning.

Sneaky of the lower end companies providing organic shaped objects to scan. It would be more beneficial if they provided a pyramid or octagonal shape with various patterns so that it could be used to validate the scanner is working correctly. The higher end products have a fixed board shape that calibrates the scanner so that temp changes etc can be taken into account.

@@DraftID Thanks for that reply. The unit looks good, a bit pricey for our "curiosity". Ultimately we're interested in incorporating a scanner into our studio as a new service/product but that $900+ price tag makes it a highly questionable purchase. That coupled with the zero customer service of Creality (at least for printers) makes is a no go.
