For Linus and anyone else that might be wondering, how you 3D scan something reflective, such as polished metal, the scanners use a bunch of little needles that measure dimensions. We have some at my current workplace. Keyence is the brand, though I warn you, they're not cheap haha. That's why the scan looks a little rough, as you can only fit so many needles next to each other. It's similar to those toys you used to find in stores that you could place your hand in and the pins made the shape of your hand. Take a lot of depth measurements close together and integrate basically and then you have a 3D model.

[@Bobble84]

Can also be done using sprays such as graphite and talc, and then scanning with a laser scanner and cleaned after using an ultrasonic cleaner. It is made to sound way more complicated in this video then it really is. I have scanned many, much more complex items, which are glass with a phone app and powder technique. Specs are usually within 0.5% of the actual object and for a project such as this it would do just fine, but bravo to LTT team for the 10 million subs and for putting this diamond play button to good use. Would have just sat collecting dust otherwise.

My first thought - when I saw their approach... i mean, a button on a wire is what i'm doing to my custom pc right now, that's too shabby

[@lordandsaviorozyrys7607]

tbh before they made a hole for the start button I was thinking "well the only logical place for start button is crystal play logo on top, that's a no brainer"

[@kenettelaforteza6567]

I was thinking the same, maybe it's too difficult

3D scanning mirror finished or high gloss if easy enough... just spray it with white tinted zinc oxide primer. Looks like a lightish, matt, grey finish. Orange works well too. Black and red kind of suck unless you're scanning on a controlled ambient lighting rig.

Scanning reflective materials like that is really quite simple, you just coat the surface with a paint/dye that won't reflect before you scan it then use a solvent to remove the paint/dye afterwards If that's not an option then make a mold of the item, use the mold to make a cast out of non-reflective material and 3D scan the cast

Worked his way up to product manager at NCIX with the idea of doing a tech tips show to help inform their customers on a fairly bewildering range of components via internet videos 1000s could watch rather than their ordering department having to walk customers through all the options and what even is a GHz one at a time. People liked the show. When it got popular enough he started his own company partially for money and partially cause NCIX understandably wasn't too keen on anyone getting into the downsides of flagship products they were trying to move or a verdict ever being that the performance gains of an upgrade didn't make sense money wise.
