Pika Rugged Case
I made a Case for the Creality Pika, Wondering if you guys would be interested.
I Printed it in PLA and TPU inserts, I also used my Laser Cutter to cut Alcantara for the face where the scanner sits so that it does not scratch against the TPU Insert
I will recieve my Pika the day after tomorrow and will check fitment ect, i based my measurements on the 3d scan one of the guys were so nice to upload on this subreddit.
Note:
The case itself is a edited version found on printables:

Creality Shop (EU) is showing false Pika delivery dates
Buyers beware. If you want the Pika in time know that the EU stock is out and won't be a next shipment before September. The shop page still shows it as "Ships within August 2026".
Info came from support.

Scanner for Gunpla parts.
Hello, I have been interested in making my own resin conversion-style parts for 1/144 scale gundam kits for a while now. The only thing that bugs me at the moment is having to take pictures of the piece and model off that and tons of measurements. I mainly need a scanner that gets a solid base shape so that I can follow that and remodel it more accurately in CAD with all the proper measurements afterward. Keep in mind these pieces can be quite small, smaller than 1cm at times.
I am currently looking at the Revopoint Metro X or Y and the Creality cr scan otter. Does anyone know if these would be suitable for my application, or would I be better off sticking to pictures? Examples of small scans and any other responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Pika battery is NOT exactly a “standard” 18650
Well, sort of.
They have a custom charging and connection “cap” on top of them making them longer.
A “Standard” 18650 flat + in green shrink wrap is along side for comparison.
The extra length could be worked around, but the pika connects only through the top of the battery. Positive in the middle and negative in the ring. Pogo pins are visible at the bottom of the battery chamber.
The insulating ring in between is also a charging indicator: red for charging and green for charged. I didn’t risk putting a charger on there that can do PD >5v. The port SAYS 5V 1.5A, but is it smart enough to not use a charger that can supply a higher voltage PD?
Has anyone seen this type of battery or the “cap” before or is this a Creality special?
Interestingly the battery still has it’s bottom negative end exposed. I don’t know if this would work in a conventional Li-Ion charger. I’m not willing to risk it right now as extra batteries do not appear to be available. Good thing they include two of them with the Pika.
Remains to be seen if the Pika can be powered through the USB-C and/or with no battery inserted. Not being tethered to a power bank is nice, but we’ll see how long the claimed 3350mAh battery lasts in practice.

Pika calibration board has a case now!!
The Creality Pika is super portable, but the calibration board is glass and needs to be protected from scratches. I needed to solve this problem. Scanned the calibration board with the Pika and created a case to protect it. Much safer to travel with the board now.

Using the Creality Pika to solve real world problems
A while back our cat, Clio, started jumping on top of our air condition at night. She discovered quickly that if she made the buttons beep, we would get up to reset the air conditioner. She’d then jump into bed, cuddle up and get some attention. This very quickly turned into her favourite activity while simultaneously destroying any chance we had for a peaceful night’s sleep.
We have been talking for a while now about modelling a cover for the air conditioner to prevent this from happening. My raptor is hooked up to my PC in our workshop and because it requires a wired connection, getting a scan for accurate dimensions would have meant moving our *very heavy* air conditioner. We recently got hold of the Creality Pika, which does not require any wires in blue laser mode, so we decided to take a crack at scanning the top of our air conditioner with it. Our bedroom is quite small and the air conditioner is squeezed between our bed, the wall, and a dresser, so this was a much more optimal solution than moving the entire thing out to our workshop.
The scan itself took less than 90 seconds and captured everything we needed. Our aim was to model a cover that would stop Clio from getting to the buttons and also keep the flap to the fan open… as she recently also discovered she could close this when we stuck a bit of plastic over the buttons. The scan allowed us to measure everything accurately and create a perfect-fit cover to stop Clio from waking us up with beeping. We went from scan, to model, to a finished print in less than 2 hours.
We’re happy to report, no more buttons are being pushed so the beeping and fan closing has come to an end… Clio has now just resorted to howling at us from on top of the air condition. I don’t think the Pika can help scan us out of that, unfortunately.
Jokes aside, the ability to scan something in our home without needing to worry about the faff of wires or moving something large to a more optimal place was brilliant. We’ve not had the Pika for too long, but so far we are impressed with its output and we’re looking forward to fixing some other things around the house.
The photos of the scan and model are attached to the post. If you’d like to see the short video we made on the project, head over to our TikTok or Insta (cute cat included!):

The Pika has landed! (unboxening)
I had to share! The pika came well protected, which considering FedEx, was probably just as well.
u/Otherwise_Sir_3439 — 6 days ago
My Pika has shipped!
This is a pre-order that seems to be ahead of schedule. It’s at the tender mercy of FedEx getting delivered on Thursday 8/13 (Lucky for some!). I’m in the US in Texas.
Anyone else been notified about their Pika pre-order?

Broken body kit part reverse engineering with 3D scanning
Body kit part was broken. I have used the other side part as a reference to scan it, remodell it, than mirrored in the slicer and print.
I've used a lot of markers to have a smooth transition between the two sides.

Creality Pika first experiences
The Creality Pika is extremely capable for being so small. It handled scanning a drumstick easily and produced a very usable STL mesh. This was used in Quicksurface Pro to generate a solid model. I’m super impressed Creality has packed so much functionality into a small piece of hardware.
The preorder discount has ended, but you can still get one coming. They are already shipping.

Sharing a project I created using the Creality Raptor Pro with Gaussian Splatting!
The latest CrealityScan 4.2.2 update introduced AI-powered 3DGS (3D Gaussian Splatting) processing.
Honestly, I originally thought 3DGS would be an exclusive feature and technology for the Pika series. Thankfully, Creality didn’t limit it to specific models, so Raptor Pro users can also experience this feature.
For this test, I decided to scan a jackfruit. After scanning it and processing the data with 3DGS, I was really impressed by how realistic the result turned out! The dense, bumpy texture on the surface of the jackfruit was captured incredibly well. Looking at it for too long honestly made me feel like my trypophobia was about to kick in. 😂
I’ve also included a link to the model below. If you’re interested, feel free to check out my scan and experience the unique look and charm of 3DGS for yourself!

I scanned my Pika… and made a case for it
I wanted something a little more convenient for carrying my Pika around, so I scanned it with a P1 and used the scan data as a reference to design a protective case in Fusion.
I printed it in gradient PLA and made it as a two-piece design: one shell for the Pika itself, plus a separate lens cover to protect the cameras when I’m not using it.
I also added a small loop for attaching a strap, so I can just carry it with me instead of putting it back into a bag every time. Feels especially useful for travel or outdoor scanning.
Really happy with how this turned out. The strap loop is probably my favorite part — makes it way easier to just grab Pika and go.
I uploaded the model here in case anyone wants to print one:

Grill tongs repair
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.
Scanner: Sermoon S1
