Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I've found an article with tips for choosing 3d scanner to work with 3d printers . Not that detailed by the way :) Yes, I'm still thinking about buying one. The question to discuss do you own, use ore used to use a 3d scanner, and how did you choose it? Myself I think that to addition to it's size ...

I can make a guess, that it's not transparent partly because of roughness of the surface. The printing technology cannot make it smooth, so you may try to polish it. Not sure it will be completely transparent (if there's some air between layers it won't) but it definitely will be better.

Who need resellers. Have never bought anything from third hands if it's possible to by directly from the developer.

It's like a black hole for my budget, every time I decide to make some money, I do exactly the opposite like buying second Prusa or going to purchase 3D scanner now... Something wrong with me :) At least I managed to return the invested funds for my Artec scanner :roll: How is that scanner working ...
