I'm a bit astonished and also very happy with my first ever 3D print. Wanted to design a "shroud" to keep the parts from rotating. Which would allow printing "directional" accessories, or pieces with an extension/offset to the side or forward that would just flop/twist around in whatever direction a force was applied.
This requires fairly specific geometry to "lock-in" around the front and sides, and into the little divots where the metal loop meets the "front" of the cargo tie-down, angles and curves. So I sat down and modeled directly to the scan and printed a single sample.
It fits PERFECTLY, there's not even a fraction of a mm of "give" or twist. It locked in perfectly first try. The tolerances are PERFECT. I'm astonished. It actually works.
Cost of the scanner is entirely justified. This is an absolute game-changer to know "I want to make something that fits into X" or "I want to make something that X can fit into" - and then you scan X, model/design to it, print, and it just works, or at least is so close you can dial it in almost instantly opens the door to making/printing so many more things. Couldn't be happier.
Below is the link that I used to make my print in case anyone is interested. Happy Printing!
