  • I looked into it, but it covers a different use case. It’s based on photogrammetry. For reverse engineering, you always need at least one measurement to scale the mesh. Also, you cannot scan anything bigger than the enclosed space within the scanner.

    The einstar actually measures depth, so I can get measurements even if I scan the object from just one side. It stitches the measured points together by overlapping features, so it theoretically can scan infinitely large objects.

    A big reason why I wanted an All-in-one 3D scanner was because I want to reverse engineer objects I see “in the wild” and in museums. The staff there might not appreciate it when I put a ruler on their stuff.






  • Unsurprisingly, its Chimpanzees. I’ve once read about a case where researchers studied a certain group of chimps, and observed that from time to time a young would disappear from the group, never to be seen again. Turns out an older female was luring them away from the group and murdered them. Apparently, there is a non-interference rule in wildlife research, so this went on until the group simply died out, because every single young fell victim to the serial killer.







  • Ahh, a fellow 3d printing enthusiast! : ) From the photos, It pretty much looks like original parts, nice and clean.

    I won’t be sharing the inside of my case photos as my cable management is shameful

    Come on, the gutshots are the most important part of a sff build! Here is the cable management of my latest build, I call it “push and pray”: https://pxscdn.com/public/m/_v2/632520794410387667/758e75a50-ddd61a/2mw9UVfkYgD7/3vKE4hl1WTLDsclRMWr5o9XUacCUr6DijOCa9yQq.jpg

    Surely yours can’t be worse?









  • In a statement to WLBT News, Blackmon wrote, “All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman’s role when men are fifty percent of the equation.

    This bill highlights that fact and brings the man’s role into the conversation. People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me.”

    So it’s just legislative trolling? Then again, Trump has declared every American a women, so this bill is no longer needed. ; )
