So I have been spending tremendous time digging into the user experience i will get having an AMD Radeon graphics based PC and it seems as though I may need to look at either getting a new PC or going with Creality Otter. I just received a response from Einstar, as follows: "einstar: Thank you for your message and for your kind words of support! We truly appreciate your enthusiasm for our products.

It is my understanding that after your initial scan (capturing the table), you can set a section plane to eliminate gathering any further points below that plane, greatly increasing processing speed and eliminating multiple cleanups. Mine is arriving today so I'll get a chance to try it out. Great tutorial!
Excellent presentation! Thank you so much for posting this video. I have had mine for a couple of days and really haven't scanned anything yet just watching videos and waiting for my 3D printer, but this really helped with building my confidence to do my first scans and prints. Good job!
@@Engineerboy100 Hi Clint, the scanned file will be accurately sized to the object you are scanning. If you want to resize it to fit the build volume of your 3D printer, this can easily done in your slicing software (chitubox, cura etc) without impacting the quality of the model. You can also rescale in a design software to get accurate dimensions.
Previously had POP 2 and Mini. Since November the Einstar and this is the best in the price range, especially the software is professional and is the same as with the expensive models from 5k. But the PC should be powerful.
@@nicolebalian It depends, if a powerful computer is used as specified by the manufacturer and you take a little longer to scan, the quality is better than with the pop. I use this in the automotive interior for reverse engineering. Shining 3D has more experience with scanners than Revopoint and you can tell that from the scanner, software and handling
Thanks for spending time on the software and not the scanner. What is up with SHIFT-LMN when selecting features? 😅. I notice i can just use shift with the paint select tool.
Awesome work Nicole!! Im leaning towards this unit but also comparing it to 3D maker pro Lynx or mole theres also Creality Ferret but not too sure about scan quality for reverse engineering some car parts
Thank you for this great presentation! I will buy this scanner for my small business. But i have one question to you: How does it work on small objects. Less than 100mm in size. Thank you very much!!! Best regards from Austria!
Thank you Andreas! I’ve scanned items between 100-200mm in size with minimal issues but items under 100mm tend to have difficulty. I would recommend a tabletop scanner such as the EinScan SP or SE if you’re looking to scan small parts.
Great video Nicole, thanks for sharing. I'm leaning towards this scanner, but I will be scanning mostly mechanical/electrical components. Have you tried scanning anything like that? If so, how were your results? Thanks!
Hi Raymond, it depends on the item and sizing! If it’s very complex and small, it will be difficult to pick up on detail and maintain dimensional accuracy. I would say this scanner is great for items larger than 6 inches+.
Question. When you finish your scan what type of 3D printing are you using to print out the results?? Also is the STL file able to be imported and use in other 3D viewer applications that's align to other 3D printers??
I like to resin print my scanned files because the results are very high resolution! "STL" is a generic 3D file that is compatible with all 3D printers :) It is the slicing softwares that differ from printer to printer, however, the process is the same. Hopefully that makes sense!
Thank you for this video. Can you please provide your computer stats in the video details? I just bought an Einstar Scanner and would like to compare your experience with mine. I've only done one test scan so far and things worked out "ok." I'm trying to figure out if I keep loosing alignment because of my computer or the scanner settings. Thanks :)
I added my laptop specs in the description for you! Not sure what you’re scanning or how big, but if it’s shiny or reflective, it will have some issues. I’ve also had issues scanning items under 4 inches.
@@nicolebalian Thank you for adding the specs. Your computer seems to be equivalent to mine. I've made 2 quick attempts to scan a small 4" figuring. But with it being my first time in the middle of the night with low lighting it didn't go too well :). I found that additional lighting helped some, and I didn't understand what the "red" on the preview screen represented. I learned from your video that red is no good so I'll have to adjust the brightness. From watching your video and seeing your PC specs it seems I should be able to get similar results as yours with a little practice. And yes, it looks like other videos are also suggesting that this scanner struggles with small items but excels with large ones. Thank you again for the video and information. It helped me greatly!
Yes! You can definitely pause and come back but there are some limitations. It’s best if an item has tracking markers so if you resume, the scanner is able to re-track your previous data points.
@Nicole Balian OK thank you. Been trying to scan my dog and once I getting in back she looks behind her. Keeps throwing off the scan once I'm behind her.
Sorry to hear that. I guess it is dependent on your specific application and what you’re trying to do. At this time a scanner with better resolution, software, and speed is 15k+. Also it takes some time to learn how to optimally operate the scanner and implement ways to mitigate the fussiness (lighting, markers, scanning spray etc).
Amazing informercial. But, it's BS. The product is bad - when compared to what the influencers post on youtube - and the return policy is a complete fraud. They say 14 days money back - then it takes 13 to deliver and the refund is only for products you don't touch or don't work. So, yes, complete misrepresentation, does not fit the purpose and it is over hyped by paid influencer marketers. Don't buy this crap! Much harder to use and with much worse results that what is being advertised.

Yes, exactly! Im sure you'll love it :)
You can use one of the markers on the base to select a perfect cropping plain. 🙂

Just got mine yesterday 😁 it's amazing! Way better than Revopoint
Awesome! Congrats 😁👌

@@nicolebalian How do you control what size the scanned object will print at?

I’m pretty sure you can quick click the centre button, and then use the top and bottom buttons to adjust the contrast on the fly.

Awesome work Nicole!! Im leaning towards this unit but also comparing it to 3D maker pro Lynx or mole theres also Creality Ferret but not too sure about scan quality for reverse engineering some car parts
Thanks for watching :D I'll be reviewing the mole shortly!!
Important visual information supported by your great explanation made this video very interesting.😊
Thank you 😘
This makes it so much more easier thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks😇😁
Neat video Nicole! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!!😁
Cant wait to see the prints.
Thank you for this great presentation!

Thank you for this helpful video. I just purchased this device and looking forward to getting the same results. What turn table are you using?
No problem! I linked it in my most recent video :) it’s awesome for scanning small to medium sized objects
@@nicolebalian Awesome thank you!!!
first I worked for lizar creality, then I bought einstar, and it turned out to be much better and better software
Right! It’s awesome for the price point
Looks impressive 😊

I would also recommend using scanning markers to help in scanning and stitching together multiple orientations/scans

great review!, quick question, the software that comes with it is that a perpetual license or subscription based ?,
Perpetual! Thank god… I definitely don’t need another subscription😜
@@nicolebalian your review and answer made me buy an einstar :-) (I hate subscriptions for software also haha)
i like it
Great vid. Where did you get the rotation disc with dots please?
Thanks so much! I got it off Amazon 😃
@Nicole Balian Could you give me the link please? Much appreciated huni
subscribed for sure 👌
Thanks so much!!😁
hi
I was wondering, is there a way to scan one side? That way if object moves. You pause or can come back to scan other side at another time?
Yes! You can definitely pause and come back but there are some limitations. It’s best if an item has tracking markers so if you resume, the scanner is able to re-track your previous data points.
@Nicole Balian OK thank you. Been trying to scan my dog and once I getting in back she looks behind her. Keeps throwing off the scan once I'm behind her.
Hii madam
I have scanner but I want object scanner pad. Where are
Hello. I linked it in my most recent video!
Can I please ask the specs of your computer.😊
Hi Steve I put the specs in the description 😄
In a word : NOPE!
worst $1000 i ever spent - the thing is fussy, glitchy and the reviewers give it way more of a pass than it deserves

@dragosm2686. Thank you for this honest comment. Maybe you can share your experience as to why the product doesnt work as shown in this vid.
Thanks.
Wait you're Canadian, I'll stop the video here.
I don’t get it 😂
