This was a great review from the perspective of the potential user of a 3D scanner. It answered all of my questions and informed me of issues I didn't foresee. I need a 3D scan of a few parts that are probably an ideal size for scanning. They're black plastic but some temporary spray on scanning finish should suffice. I need the scans so I can develop 3D printed parts that mate with complex injection molded products from another company so I can't get their CAD files. I need to be able to scan their parts and subtract them from the parts that I design so my parts mount onto their parts and the price of the Creality Ferret would be less expensive than paying for a commercial 3D scanning service, and would allow me to control the process so I could scan a new part as needed without shipping parts to a 3D scanner service.
I use kiri engine and it absolutely kills the scans!! Its amazing! And its very user friendly!(but its $10 a month)......i feel like the phone photogrammetry is better than the standalone scanner(in my opnion) but nothing has looked appealing when it comes to the stand alone scanners! Hit me up if yall have any questions! Or ideas youd like to pass my way to brainstorm!
Enjoyed the review. I really want to do some 3d scanning for smaller items. While the price looks good I am going to wait a bit longer for software to mature.
I would recommend you add Blender 3D to your toolbox - for retopology. In two weeks or so you could run it like a pro. You don't have to stick to all-quads in retopology as long as you subdivide afterwards, and apply a shrinkwrap modifier to conform to the scanned shape.
This was a great review I wasn't aware there were limitations to these scanners. But it is most interesting and the price makes it on the affordable side. The idea of scanning family members was also a cool idea, one could also scan others and have these 3D scanned bust given as gifts. XD
Great review! For smaller scale items I've heard good things about Matter & Forms 3D scanners and they seem well priced so maybe they'd pair up nicely with this to cover more bases. Also, as an alternative to stickers and powder, maybe paint markers like Posca pens could be an option for certain items, highlighting contours etc, not ideal but if it helps 🤷♂️
wtf, this is baffling, 28k Subs? bro you Deserve more Honestly, your Tutorials on perfectly dialing in my Printer was top notch, a Simple Thank you wouldn't suffice
Thanks for the review. I've been wanting to get a scanner but not wanting to pay thousands. This may be a little on the low end of what I'm wanting. Any other scanner reviews will be appreciated.
I love creality...even though all 3 printers I have of theirs have been frustrating...they are really doing a good job to get affordable tech to everyone. And that tinkering makes me learn and grow...even while I'm pissed off lol. I decided my next printer will be a K1....and I will be buying this ferret lol
@@alexey_sychev no actually I have a functional knowledge that surpasses most in everything that goes right, wrong, dialing in etc..but sure read it however you want
@@CuttinInIdaho he is right, 5 creality printers on my bench, not one headache. Of course I didn't mod them beyond their capabilities or mess around with profiles to get prints that are beyond the machines I own.
@@KipdoesStuff well it took forever, but I figured out that my bed plate was severely warped from the factory, which had me looking for all other possibilities except that which always leveled properly with corner leveling. bad thermistor on the same machine causing inaccurate reading. this caused me to start with my slicer, try different brands of filament, set up an enclosure, change nozzles and add a bi metal heat break. ender 3 v2 was that one also had a bad fep on one halot, fep on the other still had the film on it, and was crap quality to begin with. so lots of headaches, but I learned a lot in dealing with them as opposed to shipping them back...but you both are wrong because I learned a lot along the way. but good for you then I guess.
Never even knew these existed . Been wanting to buy a 3d printer so when I do I’m definitely adding this to the shopping basket. This could be really handy for loads of things. Great watch, really enjoyed the video.
This is cool but remember such device does require training and learning mesh software as you will have to finalized most captures, depending on their nature.
Thanks for your video content and the information on this topic matter. I'm thinking of getting into 3d printing, but it's not a priority. So I think I can wait for things to become simpler and more accurate. I don't want to spend too much time learning CAD. As for this scanner, I think I will wait until the dream version at the beginning of your video is available. LOL
I have the Revopoint Mini for small items and love it. Just buy it. You won't regret it. The details are amazing. I tried the pop3, and it's not for details. Make sure you get the Bluetooth rotating stand also
I still want to make prosthesis covers for my DH but his leg is carbon fiber, unless I slap painters' tape on it, I don't think this scanner is going to work for me sadly. I thank you very much for your thorough review!
Very interesting! I got a couple of tips for you. Other then the baby powder (which you likely already tried and figured out that the problem isn't flat surfaces, but reflections), there's a couple of CADs designed to make stl solid. The useful ones (like SolidWorks) unfortunately aren't free. However, making them solid also makes it possible to split models in CADs and add taps for easy perfect assembly (almost perfect, nothing fine sandpaper can't fix in a couple of mins) That's the price point I've been waiting for and performance seems decent for my goals (bike/car mods/planing), going to go order now.
I just downloaded the 3.2.24 Windows software. It seems to work pretty good. It still seems to get lost now and then. Not sure what I am doing wrong with that, but it is a learning process.
I have had endless problems with their software on Windows and Mac, so I’ve never really been able to use the CR Lizard. The Kickstarter for that one was kind of a mini fiasco as well. I just don’t think Creality is quite ready for prime time with these devices, yet. Mine has collected dust for the past year and a half, though I dust it off every time there is a new software update… good luck with yours!
I've never owned a Creatality product that didn't require A LOT of tweaking, adjusting and experimenting to get usable results from in the 3D printing world. I'm not surprised you had to play Sherlock Holmes to get usable results from this scanner.
This is why you use "scan spray", or "fracture spray" -- make the object uniform color, refrectivity and refractivity with easily removable film (dust essentially)
hey dude, i really like your videos, the format and how informative they are. I just bought a ferret thanks to your video but would you be willing to do a more in depth tutorial on cleaning up and fixing scans. I see when you do a scan it might just be an outside "shell" but how did you make it a more solid model when finished? Thank you and will continue to support.
Good review! I suspect that we may see a few Ferret clones appearing ( al la Ender 3 ). One thing that does bother me is the copyright issue. There are already loads of rip-off copies of resin bust models available, but this will bring copying to a new level. The cat's out of the bag already, and it may discourage makers from producing new stuff, if it's promptly cloned!
Thanks for the review, I wanted to buy this for small model car parts, but from this I gather they will be too small for the Ferret to pick up. Think you might have just saved me $300.
I would like to see reviews of Jewelry 3D scanners, and scanners that can operate at that resolution. These scanners should be the most useful for scanning objects to print on standard size FDM and Resin Printers. Aside from Jewelry, they should be useful for scanning small replacement parts (Eg test nubs, gears, clips, keyboard feet etc), and miniatures (Plastic, metal, resin, green stuff, and clay models/sculptures). I can already sculpt much better by hand than I can in 3D so being able to sculpt a small figure, scan it and then print copies would be very useful for me.
02:30 HOLY SHIT! Your desk is GORGEUS! Dang that looks good. How did you get a desk like that?? :O That alone gets you a like, and very close to sub :O
Excellent review! I was looking at this for scanning headphone housing internals for modding but it seems like this would've been insufficient. Thanks, you saved me some money and apologies I can't contribute any sales commissions 😅 Have a subscribe instead
Hi, been having same issue with how and what to scan with. iPhones have Lidar now and a few cameras for scanning. Belarus 3d was a great iPhone 10 scanner. Did the family Perfectly then it went away. It seems that a lot of good phone apps went away and then physical 3d scanners came on the market. I have seen nothing that worked as well at that phone app 4 years ago...but it is gone!!
How do you think it would perform scanning a fuel tank on a motorcycle? I have a few Suzukis that I bought brand new and are now , somehow , vintage. They need new fuel tanks so I’ve been wanting to scan one and send the model to PCBWay to be produced out of sheet metal or have a small fuel cell and print a cover that has the dimensions of the tank. Any input will be much appreciated. Thanks for all your videos, they’re super helpful and informative.
Excellent examples. What is the max object size? Your review also doesn’t feel like advertising. Using LiDAR scanning on my iPhone isn’t so good. So your review drew my eye.
There isn't really a maximum size as such. The problem with scanning something like a car is the large flat surfaces where it would lose it's reference and fail. The final restriction would probably be the file size rather than the physical object size.
@@RickyImpey , I think I see. It needs to detect features all the time to keep things registered.They have macOS now, but not yet iOS for iPhones. Curious omission.The price is compelling though.
I have seen some such websites in which you deliver miniature by uploading your jpg photo only, so I have a question that how those people are making perfect miniature by uploading only one side photo
Thx for the interesting Video. Especially the part with the RC Car is exactly what I want to do with that scanner. What about the dimensions of the scanned part. Is the virtual dimension similar to the original part? And if not so, is it possible to resize it to the original dimension in meshmixer?
What I'm needing is a scanner to scan certain engine parts such as intercooler piping and air boxes so i can print molds for making carbon fiber parts. Complex tubes but not a lot of detail involved. Would you recommend this device for that application?
Wouldn't 3D scanning apps running in the phone itself output about the same quality? I have tried a couple on iPhone and the results looked like the one from this scanner.
This is what I was thinking. It only looks slightly better than Scaniverse on an iPhone. (Though I can't comment on other phones without LiDAR sensors.)
Did you also consider using clear plexiglass dowel rods to support your products to scan reducing the need to remove background materials? It's similar to photographing objects to be able to insert them into other images like superimpose a car into another type of scene that would be impossible to do in real life...
Hello, please help. My printer stops printing mid-print or prints defective parts. I've already updated all firmwares (creality slicer and sonic pad), changed the pendrive 2 times and reset it to factory defaults. Alignment is correct. Do you know what could be going on?
Skanect might work a bit better with a xbox 350/xbox one kinect. . It might be limited but and a bit slower but probably more stable then the creality software.
Idk dude, a different video from VFX guy who had knowledge about lighting and surfaces scanned much better with the same regular ferret, and "scan and print" a copy of an object without any issues
I hope as your channel continues to grow....you continue with the honest reviews. 3D printing and the Woodworking space is filled with nothing more than people starting channels...getting free stuff and then giving favorable reviews. They become tool whores.
Beside the quite reasonable hardware - indeed - the software of the Creality scanner is a mess. I played around a little bit at a colleagues Creality scanner in order to figure out the difference to my Einscan SP - and beside the price tag - the real difference is on the software side of the story.
Strange that this "low end" scanner (not in price, as it must be paired with a high end portable computer) wasn't compared to cloud-computing 3D scanners that require nothing more than a cell phone. It seems to me such scanners might render products like this irrelevant/overprice/without a market.
WHY DO THE DAMN FACTORY SITES NEVERRRRR WORK!?!??!?! man!!! I've been at WAR with this shit for years now! Creality- freaking FLsun all of em 🤬🤬🤬 also good review- and bruh... its still fucking creepy 🧐🧐
I use my phone to scan stuff and make models. 😂 You can take 50 photos and turn them into a 3d model. It's not that hard. Why spend a thousand dollars on a scanner?

I'd be interested to see you compare this to a photogrammetry app on your phone.
Yeah, I wonder how this would compare to PolyCam.

Those people scans are really good! For people of this colour at least.
And good to know about dimensional accuracy.
This 3D scanners price is like the price of a budget smartphone. That's amazing.

Dude how are you the best but so underrated! God bless you brother stay at it. I wont go anywhere else!
I had similar results with the revopoint. I ended up sending it back after a lot of frustration.
Before scanning it’s good to use cad spray, foot spray works fine

You need to have a powder spray for scanning black objects to remove the shine/glair from the black. Try using some baby powder over the model.

Will this work with MacBook Pro or IPhone ?
Excuse me!! This machine. Can i get the size car for ppf pre cut???
offtopic but why is the camera positioned at such a peculiar angle(from top to down)?
I'll buy a used one in 6 months or so. The seller you are linked to makes it too difficult to buy from them.
Would this work with the Galaxy Z Fold 4?
Why not go for photogrammetry, using your phone without the scanner.
How did you add thickness to the rc car body? Thanks
Select the model then 'edit' and 'extrude'
Would a green screen around the object help the scanning process?
I think any screen that's a contrasting color should work, paired with a bright even light source
Yes.
Here's something funny. If you go to the link in the description, the PRO version appears to be cheaper than the regular version 🤣

I'd say this is hardly any better than what mobile phones have been able to do using just the camera.
Multimodal AI is the new hotness.
Combined outputs would probably give a super detailed model.
Particularly for people with lower end phones.
No iPhone huh. That’s almost too bad except the inability to scan small items also puts me off.
Could have scanned a real car and scaled it to fit the chasis...
That would be a fun project🤔
Can anyone help find a scanner that isn't focused on scanning dolls? I want a tool, not a child's toy.
Look at faro scanners, The ones we have at my work were over $100k though.
Thank you for the bid but that’s scanners trash
I’m guessing any AR/VR headset can do this with the right software.
