My son came to me today, quite upset because his barbecue tongs had broken 😀.
So, I first glued them back together, then scanned them and printed a new pair 😀.
Capturing the inner contour wasn't exactly easy.
I performed several scans first using cross-lines, and then scanning the inner contour multiple times using a single line.

A friend of mine has a problem spare parts are no longer available for his old shower.
This bracket had broken.
I glued it back together for the scan since it was chrome-plated, I coated it with a marker spray before scanning, did some minor post-processing, and printed it.

Scan Mode: Cross Lines and Single Line
My son wanted a extra barrier for his water track.
I scanned it in cross-line mode with a point spacing of 0.3 mm.
I didn't have to do any post-processing. I set it up using the one-click setting.🙌😀
I am very satisfied with the result. 😀

Engine Scan
I scanned this engine in cross line and Infrared scan mode without marking or spraying with scan spray to compare the results. The details are clearly better along the cross lines.

I want to build a holder to fit it, so I just scanned it. 😀
Point spacing: 0.2 mm

I tested the markerless scan mode here and gained some insights compared to scanning with markers.
Lighting conditions are crucial, especially for markerless scanning.
In low light, the image is difficult to recognize compared to marker scanning.
You also have to adjust your scanning technique, making very slow movements to avoid losing tracking.
However, this can happen quickly if it does, you should move to a prominent landmark and restart once tracking is restored.
It's definitely much heavier than using markers. And your arms tire faster because you have to make slow and, ideally, fluid movements. 😀
But overall, it works quite well and is well-suited for larger objects and especially for quick scans.
I'll continue testing it some more. 😀
