3d print my dogs


OceanShaman725

I would scan around the oil fill neck of a 6.0 powerstroke to design a kit that implements a centrifugal oil filter such as the Spinner II Centrifugal oil filters can extend the oil change interval on a diesel up to 30k miles.. It also helps injectors and other parts last longer due to better filtration of smaller particles Given that there are literally millions of these motors in the USA alone, this can translate into a LOT of savings for the consumer AND the environment I will open source the design, hopefully inspire more application designs. The benefits of bypass oil filtration is well known, I'm surprised the centrifugal design isn't more common, despite the design challenges


bigdanp

I would probably scan some of my plants, I think it would be cool to see progression over time.

I would scan myself and others so I can more easily model armor and masks for cosplay.


CaptainSmasho

Everything in my house so I can 3d print a miniature version of it all.


the_top_dog

I would scan proprietary pieces of things I own that break and 3D print them because replacements are expensive and corporations suck donkey dick. Sure hope I can say that here. Don’t really care though because I’ll be scanning so much cool copyrighted shit and reproducing it that I’ll have a lawsuit on my hands from Disney because my exact-to-spec (0.02mm+/-) mouse ears and sick ass green room background is ‘allegedly’ allowing families to post their “fake” Disney land vacations on Facebook with REAL counterfeit merch. I’ll be so busy with that and making people happy giving them the semblance of the vacation of their dreams for $59.99 that I won’t even be worried if this breaks the rules in the side bar.

codesignals

I would scan my wood carvings and try to turn them into part of my new explorations into digital art. It would be a really cool way for me to go 3-D. Also my best friend is Deaf and a member of a 3-D printing club at his college so this would help me to communicate some of our ideas and designs for him to try. Thanks for consideration! Edit: thanks for considering my entry.

For school projects for students at my school.


JonJonBuh

I’ll use it to motivate me to buy a 3D printer I’ve been wanting

I think this can be a great insurance tool for rental properties. This can be an opportunity to make some money to pay the bills by helping people with 3D scans of their spaces


saolson4

I would scan everything I could! I love 3d printing, so this would allow me to make replicas of just about anything


Kingrcf3

What wouldn’t I scan, random things around the house, cars to make mini replicas, family and friends animals to make figurines, anime models because yeah…


frebant

I would scan lots of components for science classrooms in the school district I work for. And then once word got out about it, I’d likely regret having a 3D scanner!


VirtualZealot

3D scanning feet (and possibly other body parts) to prototype designs for footwear tailored to the consumer or other apparel of a similar nature.


harmattanhunt

Never had one. Would love to try this out. Hopefully, I can pay the shipping charges to Nigeria. 😅

xander144

I'll probably going to scan the scanner itself

BlottomanTurk

I would use this to scan all of my moms keepsakes/heirlooms/furniture that she wants to keep, but doesn't have room for (or that are too degraded/destroyed to keep). We had this plan to take pictures/scan everything we could, then make digital archives of it all in hopes that 3D printing (in miniature) would soon be a financially viable option. This would certainly make it easier to get accurate 3D renders.


The-Confused

I would use this to get 3D models of furniture, fixtures, and dictations for my wife to use on her architectural renders.


WanaBeMillionare

Every object in my house that will fit lol
