As Easy As Riding A Bike (at the beach)

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought the kit in December and assembled it right away. The design is nice and the quality of the kit is very good. I tried out the Horus software that you'll need to download and that's when I got a bit frustrated. The output of Horus is a point cloud. The point cloud file needs to be interpreted by a program like Meshlab and then converted to an STL or OBJ file for most 3D printer software to read. The point clouds I generated were typically incomplete for various scanning reasons. One recommendation is to move the part around on the platform and generate and align multiple point clouds. Tedium ad nauseam. Needless to say I haven't produced a part that I have been happy with and the scanner has sit on my desk for the past 3 months. I haven't given up but the learning curve on this is pretty intense. This is not a point and click device by any means.

In development, and not quite "there" yet

The texture scan needs a lot of work. Certain colors and materials don't scan, and the calibration/scan is very finicky about light sources and intensities.

I have a photog friend I'll tap into soon to design the perfect diffused light box; until then this machine is a novelty that needs a lot of time/effort to perfect. Think of yourself as an early adopter helping to move the technology along vice buying a working machine here.

Also: if you have a 3D printer, make your own parts. Search "Ciclop" on thingiverse and bq has made the .stl files available. From there, run down the BOM they provide and build it cheap. If you completely DIY (including sourcing the parts) you can beat this price.

Extremely disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

This was a Christmas present two years ago. It took a great deal of research and work to get it to scan properly; but then there is no way to clean up the scan for output to a 3D printer. No other application will accept the point cloud (PLY) output file: not Remake, not 123D, not MeshLab, not Netfabb, not blender... nothing.

For the past 2 years there has been no development of the scanning application, Horus, which is still version 0.1. Too bad. It could have been a nice tool. Do no waste your money and especially your time. It will break your heart. Stay away!

Seller doesn't support the product.

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

No documentation or software provided. When contacted, seller referred me to software on a third-party site - for a different product. That software did not work. I have since reverse engineered the board, and wrote an arduino driver for it. Proof that the software they referred me to COULD NEVER work, because it was for a board with different pinouts. I am in the process of rewriting the application software. No thanks to the seller.

This device requires a lot of tweaking to get decent results. In the end, it was faster for me to create a model from scratch then use this scanner. You will need excellent lighting (as in photography style lighting) to get any kind of decent results. After that, you will need to do major cleanup to the point cloud.

Complete junk, cannot work

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Don't believe the fake positive reviews. The box comes with no instructions, and NONE are online. The software is junk. Look on YouTube for this scanner working. There are NONE. It will cost a fortune to return it to China when you realize you were scammed. Just rip up your money and save the frustration. You will never get this working. Never.

This is horrible.

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

This arrived via DHL in a a box that was all but destroyed and only held together by copious amounts of packing tape. When I opened the box, I found that the product was not assembled at all and in about 100 pieces. There are no instructions for assembly or software for use with the product.

This is horrible.
