RoboDerby Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Oooooh, that “old” gag! I still can’t get over how much your 3D prints resemble the original. It really is remarkable. Out of curiosity, do you just take measurements and translate them into the software or is there a scanner of some kind also involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 I use digital calipers for measurements, then enter them in a CAD program. You could use a scanner for a more accurate shape, but this creates a great deal of "surplus" geometry that has to be tidied up. The big advantage of my method is that I can work from pictures, I don't need an original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
