Revopoint INSPIRE: BUDGET Friendly 3D Scanning at its Best!!

[@AusCharlie]

Anyone checked to make sure the dude in the Revopoint shirt isn't being held hostage to make the video? :D

[@rushymoto]

I want to scan motorcycle engine block parts with a view to having a good 3D cad file, slice into layers and then print on paper, glue to foam sheet and then cut out to make a foam pattern for lost foam casting. So size needs to be 18 inch square x 10 inch high and get internal and external data. Ill need to add measurements on after in order to square up the positional accuracy of key parts of the scan.

[@videos40058]

3:49 resize and scalling is not the same thing. If you don't understand the difference having scanned at 0.1mm will preserve some details to 0,2mm just like resizing a 4k video to display on a 1080 p display shows better then rescalling the video to 1080p

[@AnivaleShop]

Hello. Ferret, POP3 or Mole? What do you think have more detail and Accuracy. Thank you so much for the video.

[@zofia766]

Hey, did you get any of these? :) I'm actually also thinking about Mole vs POP 3, and can't find much comparison online.

[@Schwift3D]

Curious how polycam and a decent phone camera would compare to this.

[@ThePrintHouse]

Yeah eventually I think I'm going to do a head to head with all the different options!!

Hay did they stop selling the wizmaker p1 because I went to the website to get one and I don't see it

[@ThePrintHouse]

I think Wizmaker has had troubles. I don't know why they haven't made new printers or even been seen in the news. They had THE BEST beginners printer back 2 years ago with features some manufacturers are only just now putting into their printers. I wish I knew more about what has happened to Wizmaker, but unfortunately I don't know anything haha

[@PasswordincorrectStudios]

​@@ThePrintHousedang I was about to get 1 do u suggest any good starting printers like bamboo x1 carbon or the ender 3 or FL sun because there's so many to choose from

[@ThePrintHouse]

Well I would not say that the x1c is a starter printer due to price, but it is an amazing product. If you are brand new, I would definitely recommend you start out with a printer in the $ 350 - 500 range if you are brand new. If you like printing you can get a more costly printer. I am currently feeling like the Creality K1 and the AnkerMake M5C are great starter printers. You should join my discord and check my video descriptions for some affiliate links!! :D

[@pyramidsinparis6217]

whats the best on the market? Im looking to find a scanner that can scan in high definition texture, colours and patterns so its basically scanning in what you see rather than just the model. ?

[@ThePrintHouse]

What size model are you scanning?

[@captaincurd2681]

Large size.

[@CliffordMcgaughey]

Hi , looking to know what would be the best scanner I have a decent budget, I build and modify 1/14 RC trucks and construction

[@zofia766]

Hey, thanks for the video! So now, after a few months, do you still like this scanner? Do you think it's good for the money, or would you recommend something different in this price range?

[@ThePrintHouse]

I really haven't used this scanner much since the video, but I do genuinely think it's a good value. It really depends on your use case, but I'd suspect most people will be perfectly content with this one! Of course if the budget it there for a more expensive scanner, then I obviously recommend that.

[@zofia766]

@ThePrintHouse with my budget I was thinking I could go up to 450-480$, but from what I saw the better scanners start at 700-900$. Do you think there is something better than Inspire below 500?

[@ordie2011]

​@ThePrintHouse WOW, you owe it to the viewers to do long term usage

[@Artur-iy6nz]

Creality Ferret, Revopoint INSPIRE or POP3? Thanks for the video.

[@ThePrintHouse]

Pop3 100%. No questions.

[@Artur-iy6nz]

@@ThePrintHouse Thank you for your reply. The difference between Inspire and pop3 where I live is 161$, do you think it deserves this price difference?

[@kingtaco1472]

Do you know companies that will duplicate small plastic parts? I have a small tab on a fiber splicing tool that seems to break but they dont sell replacements. The tool costs about $200 everytime this plastic tab breaks. I dont want to invest into buying my own setup and going through this learning curve. Do you know companies that perform this type of work?

[@ThePrintHouse]

I might be able to help you. Please email me. My email is in my KZbin bio.

[@byronwilliams6532]

I had Revopoint Pop 2 hated it. Tracking was non forgiving. I now have Range which I love. I also have a CR Ferret, which is more forgiving with tracking, but less detailed than range. I’m considering this one or Pop3. Good information on your video.

[@ThePrintHouse]

Thank you for the kind words! If you still have the POP2 try it again. I originally did not like the POP2 for tracking reasons, but it is better now with better software. The RANGE is still my favorite for sure.

[@byronwilliams6532]

@@ThePrintHouse prior to purchasing the Pop2, I had very little experience with an actual scanner other than an iPhone scanning app or Kinect scanner using skanect. Revopoint had their factory app and Revo 5 or what ever it was called then was an very beta stages. I’m considering either Pop3 or Inspire since Revo 5 allows you merge scans together. But, sense the Pop 2 is cheaper, l may take your advice. Thanks

[@AModoMio111]

hi do you think i can scan people with this scanner? i mean only head with tors, not the entire body. thanks

[@GrieveIV]

2:19 damn. That’s not small enough for me

[@fiery_transition]

So, what was the dimensional accuracy, you mention it but don't actually show the numbers. First you say it is pushing the envelope of what it can do with the chair, detailing a cumbersome process and showing an unusable result, then say you are blown away by the final result. It comes off as 'I'm sponsored to say this' vibe or the editing is just confusing.

[@ThePrintHouse]

The chair is not an unusable result. The chair was a highly difficult task. I'm blown away by the result. It is a very useable result. Most people don't understand that 3d scanning isn't just point, scan, use data. So much processing goes into a scan before it's a finalized product for whatever use case... Be it 3d printing use as a digital asset in a game, etc. And all of those use cases require different post processing techniques, so I can't do them all. I apologize. I don't have the time for that, specifically because I was not sponsored to make this video. I was provided the scanner free of charge, but no money exchanged hands and there's no reason I would risk the trust of my viewers over getting a free $400 3d scanner, especially when I already have 4 other scanners. I mentioned the dimensional accuracy as 0.2mm which is a hardware limitation. I have no reason to test it in a micro scale. It would be a very difficult test anyway. Based on the grass I 3d scanned, it's very clear it's a 0.2 mm sensor because the model is quite fuzzy and lacks significant detail. Towards the end I mentioned the dimensional accuracy test with the audio meter, and even show it inside fusion 360, yet I didn't say anything negative about my findings, so I assumed it was understood to be within acceptable bounds. I do apologize if that was confusing. Producing a sub 10 minute video with a product that I could talk about for over an hour is very difficult to do. I hope you understand that is the case so to make an 8 minute video requires a lot of time and dedication to the script writing in order to include only the most important details. As a content producer, if I mess that up anywhere along the way, then the viewer will get bored and click away. Since this video was not sponsored, I hope you can understand that this isn't showing the vibe you suggest. As for its confusing nature to you, I do apologize for that. I think you might be over analyzing what I said in the video. The scanner is a great basic and beginner scanner. If you have any other specific questions about it, I am absolutely open arms to accept and answer them in the comments here :)

[@fiery_transition]

@@ThePrintHouse Thanks for the reply. Given you say this is a beginner product, and then you say most people wrongly assume how easy it is to use these things, it would be nice to clarify that part for beginners, who probably won't know that already as you said yourself. Then maybe compare it to other products/methods to exemplify what the baseline is in the market wrt. what to expect of the product. It's hard to understand the praise with a lack of context which can justify the praise, since I'm not an expert in all the scanners which exist. I'm just a hobbyist but have a thorough scientific background in another field, so while I won't expect a deep dive, I also expect some more context for understanding things. I clicked this with the expectation that it wasn't one of the pro tools which cost thousands and thousands of dollars made for people who already have expertise, but that it might offer some value with regards to some of my side projects which are not on the same level. I still think the editing is weird at parts, where you build up with a question and a narrative and just cut and continue without a thorough conclusion/discussion. It's fine you said you measure the dimensional accuracy, but just showing the part in fusion and saying it without having a discussion about the actual results and what they actually mean is just not going to provide much information. Given we live in a time where sponsored videos are an often occurring thing, it's better to be more critical of what you see online, and even if you are honest, then you will still be held more accountable, which we can agree is sad, but that is the state of affairs when it comes to product reviews in general, not just you.

[@ThePrintHouse]

@@fiery_transition thank you for the structured criticism. I will review the video again shortly and try to pick the video apart from a beginners perspective while considering your comments. I will try to figure out where I can improve upon my production quality while covering a wide range of specs in short order. I will say this, some products can't have full depth reviews and a single review is merely a piece of a puzzle and you need to watch 4 or 5 reviews from different people with hopes that everyone tackled the product differently and has different production values. None the less, thank you for your comments I will take them into consideration for future videos!!!

[@Potatorouter]

You'r cat is just vibing on the printer

[@ThePrintHouse]

She really is, isn't she lmao!!

[@NeoIsrafil]

Honestly i got the mini 2, and its no different than the pop 2. Literally, scanning a mini on the pop 2, then on the mini 2, it didnt improve AT ALL. Theyve been selling us the same scanners over and over and weve been buying it. If youre trying to scan anything smaller than a smartphone, expect to spend 20,000 or more because no matter what revopoint says, the mini and mini2 do NOT come anywhere near 0.02. i also own a creality lizard ... Which honestly performs around the same as the pop2, maybe slightly higher accuracy but it also gets more noise picked up.

[@PinkGirl2242]

Great video as I have the same scanner as well as the Mini and Einstar Shining3D scanner. I think Revopoint is pronounced as Ree Voo point but I could be wrong lol. Now onto my own experience with my Inspire from kickstarter. Out of the box it was blurry after scanning on my smart phone via Revo Scan app. I also tried on the pc and still blurry and for some reason I was only getting 14fps on the pc and 10fps on my Xiaomi Pocofone F1 that has 6GB memory. I had bad customer service as I had to go through a lot of hoops just to request a new replacement. In the end Revopoint gave in after I had to invoke my UK law rights as my unit was faulty. Now I'm waiting for my replacement to arrive and the faulty unit will be collected next week. I will let you know if the replacement is fine. Just to let you know that my Mini and Einstar are not blurry so it's definitely the Inspire as other backers who received theirs are having issues too.

[@ThePrintHouse]

Thats odd. When you say blurry, what do you mean exactly?

[@PinkGirl2242]

@@ThePrintHouse in the preview window it's blurry on the lens and after the object has been scanned the finished object is blurry too. Even after post processing.

[@PinkGirl2242]

@@ThePrintHouse After jumping through their hoops and after invoking my rights, they decided to send me a replacement unit. Let's see how it goes. A customer shouldn't need to invoke their rights to force business to send a replacement for a faulty item. This will be my last Revopoint purchase.

Yeah I do not know everything you went through, but I will say that I have had 4 Revopoint products and all have been amazing. I have also had some fantastic luck with their customer support, even before I was an influencer!

[@DannyMartin3z]

What this scanner purchased or provided by manufacturer? Usually that’s disclosed and perhaps I might have just missed it. It might not matter to some but it’s part of how I weigh I information before I buy. Thanks!

[@wyqid]

For the price of these scanners I'd rather upgrade my iPhone 11 to an iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has a LIDAR 3D camera. Just download one of many apps and start scanning. While the iPhone 15 Pro Max is like $1500-1800, the scanning results I've seen put it on par with 3D scanners in the same price range. So when I decide to drop the cash on a new phone, I'm just going to go that route.

[@justinreinsma9772]

Hey dude, not sure if you've already gone ahead and done it, but in my experience even the inspire beat TF out of my ipad pro m1, not sure if it's the same lidar. If you're looking for a more affordable alternative you could probably already just do some photogrammetry and get really detailed models. I've used both meshroom on windows and photocatch on mac, and I was incredibly impressed by the results. Photocatch works amazing right out of the box and will even take video as an input, and meshroom works great but involves some tinkering and good hardware. It depends on your use case of course though, but just thought I'd share my 2 cents.

[@3dfaculty]

revopoint scanners are trash, wasted my money on 2 different scanners that produce nothing but frustration, i got better results with Photogrammetry using my phone and laptop

[@ThePrintHouse]

The biggest thing is that 3d scanners don't offer as much forgiveness as photogrammetry. 3d scanners can definitely be easier and faster given enough use. It's a tough market to recommend scanners because it took me 3 or 4 months to really learn them
