Thanks, if you really need something scanned let me know. Otherwise, I have a huge pile of car parts here that are quick to get tossed in front of it.

Ah I misunderstood. I thought you were looking for random stuff to practice with and get it dialed in.

That’s pretty much what I have been doing with my own pile of parts:

I’ve made some huge leaps with some borrowed hardware but the software scan alignment is still not up to speed with the rest of the scanning prototyping world. Hopefully as I get better at it and figure out the best workflow to get this stuff into CAD it will become more and more useful.
