Wanted to make a perfectly fitted case for my over-ear headphones, so I started with a scan using the Creality Pika at 0.3mm resolution.

Honestly, I went with 0.3mm because it felt like a good balance for this kind of object – fine enough to capture the overall shape and the little details like hinge areas and ear cushion contours, but without creating an unnecessarily heavy file. The built-in screen made the setup pretty quick, which is handy when you’re just doing a quick test.

The scan itself turned out decent. It's not flawless, the seams didn't come through great and cleanly. Had to fill a couple of small holes, but it's absolutely usable for designing a case around the headphones. I'll share the printed case once it's done.

No markers placed , just a quick scan test on this small toy.
Real-time point distance and fusion point distance were both set to 0.2 mm.
I love this mode so much!

Just got some hands-on time with the Creality Pika, so I filmed a quick unboxing video.

The package is pretty compact, and the overall setup feels beginner-friendly. I’ll be testing it with a few real objects soon and sharing more about the scanning experience.

Got a chance to try the upcoming Pika 3D scanner a little early, so I tested it on one of my favorite Iron Man figures.
The result honestly surprised me. The armor details came out better than I expected, especially for a scanner expected to launch at around $699.
Still need to test more objects, but for collectibles and small figures, this first scan looks really promising.
