Have conducted several scans now with the raptor, very happy with the end results. It should be noted that further software and or skills are required to do anything further with the scans beyond processing the point cloud. I purchased adobe substance which is able to take the scanned object and fill it in, this is necessary if you wish to make 3d prints from the hollow scanned items. Otherwise very happy with the experience so far, four stars awarded as it is still early days and I have no other scanning experience to compare to. Scanner itself is well made and comes with everything you need to get going albeit a computer to run the software. Looking forward to future projects with this new tool.
I have run through lots of this as a secondary school teacher and found this filament to be smooth and operates well in our new 3D printers. I've had few issues with printing and have been happy with the results. I have lots of other colours in the same batch so have good choices for print jobs.
Portability is a definite plus.
Uses over the last week.
A quick scan and measure to get thread pitch on hydraulic fittings.
A quick scan and trim of hydromotor mesh on different harvesters and overlay within starvision to check that mounting holes were identical.
Measure volumes of plantation tree trunks for historical growth rate measurement.
I just bought 2 of the new Adventurer 5M Pro printers and have given them a hefty workout I. The gliding weeks of the school term. I was amazed at the speed of prints, the ease of loading and changing filament and the software and file slicing. 3D Print Superstore matched other quotes and my order arrived very quickly. I’m looking forward to some exciting projects in the new year.
