I recently got the Revopoint Dual-Axis Turntable, and I quickly ran into one small annoyance.
When the platform tilts, the magnetic markers tend to slide off under their own weight. I kept wondering why the top plate wasn’t magnetic.
Instead of using adhesive or double-sided tape, I printed a replacement top plate using Proto-Pasta Composite Iron PLA. Since it’s infused with real iron particles, the marker magnets stick to the surface while still being easy to reposition.
Now the markers stay in place even at steep tilt angles, and I can still rearrange them whenever I need to.
It turned out to be a surprisingly simple solution to a very practical problem.

I’ve put together a quick breakdown of the 3D scanning, 3D modeling, and 3D printing process for this project! Since I needed to scan the scanner itself, I dipped it in flour to capture the reference data and built the design right on top of it.

This stand features vehicle-style shock-absorbing suspensions to shield the MetroX from workbench vibrations and shocks, while preventing it from tipping over if the cable gets pulled. It’s all about keeping the device as safe as possible during use!

I will be uploading the project files very soon. If you want to stay updated on future projects and details, make sure to follow me! Feel free to reach out anytime via comments, DM, or email. 📩

I’ve put together a quick breakdown of the 3D scanning, 3D modeling, 3D printing, and assembly process for this project! To get that perfect ergonomic structure, I used the Revopoint MetroX Pro for the scanning phase, and the final piece was printed on a Bambu Lab P1S using standard PLA filament.

I plan to upload the 3D models very soon. As long as there is enough interest, I look forward to updating this design and working on different models in the future!

Jeep Wrangler - Mirror - Part 2

After scanning the mirror mounting base from the Jeep Wrangler, this time I scanned the arm that holds the mirror using the Revopoint POP 4.

I think this was my best scan so far. The part has some curved surfaces and small details, and the POP 4 captured the shape really well.

This time I also added several images showing the whole process, from the scan to the final result.

For now, the mirror base and arm are done. Soon, the complete mirror.

When seeing the POP4 and reading about the standalone scanning support with the app or screen mirroring while scanning with a PC I immediately had the urge to create a nice solution for mounting a smartphone to the scanner. Could've used the default approach of putting it between battery and scanner like on the MetroY wireless kit but I prefer it to be top mounted.
So I jumped in Quicksurface and created this mount. It is attached with some reversible double-sided tape to the scanner and accepts any cold-shoe smartphone holders. Best thing: It still fits in the original case and be comfortably used with the mount attached.
Scan was designed around my 3d scan of the POP4, was not necessary but helped with positioning and sizing.

Printing is best done from PETG or ABS. YOu may want to roughen up the surface of the print before attaching the double-sided tape.

Smartphone Mount Used

Any other cold shoe smartphone mount should also work, just like this one. Has endless swivel points for adjustments. https://www.smallrig.com/de/smallrig-Metal-Phone-Holder-with-Cold-Shoe-Mount-4382.html

I had a little challenge on my hands: a side panel was missing from my father’s Bobcat X325.

With the help of the Metro Y scanner, I was able to scan the area and use that as a base to recreate the panel with much better accuracy. I then worked on the model in Revo Design and finished everything in Fusion 360, ready for laser cutting and bending.

I also tried to keep it as close as possible to the original, using a photo I found online as a reference (last photo).

Could it have been done by measuring everything with a tape measure? Sure. But it wouldn’t be the same.

It’s in projects like this that you really understand the value of a 3D scanner: it saves time, helps capture tricky shapes, and makes it much easier to recreate parts that are hard to find.

Tools: Revo Design + Fusion 360

What is shown on website and my result with different laser modes (cross lines, single line, normal/metal modes), brightness, treatments…

Hey fellow members, sorry for not showing as much as other times. This is one of my latest. I just use the metro y in all 3 laser modes and I only use de revo software for my unit.

Another small test with the Revopoint POP 4.

This time I only scanned the mirror mounting base from a Jeep Wrangler. The part has some curved areas, holes, and details that make scanning a good way to accurately capture the geometry.

For now, it was just the base. Soon, the complete mirror ✌
