    Nice one, thanks.
    Trying to get a look at few sample STLs before I place an order although I'm pretty much convinced already.

    There are example scans from Einscan on their Sketchfab page
    https://sketchfab.com/einscan

    but be aware there are also Einscan-pro scans

    The expensive sprays is just to add a white matt surface to the object, you can use whatever you like, even hairspray is great to make the object matt.
    those expensive sprays lets you wipe it off without any residue left

    if you scan an object with light and dark areas there will be a surface (scale) difference in the final scan,
    so it's better to make the object one solid colour or tone down the difference between the dark and lighter parts.

    Scanning geometric smooth objects is not easy, because the software has no reference where one part ends and the next scan part begins, it needs a reference,
    a trick it to stick small black dots in a random pattern on the surface and inside to let to software see those reference points.

    I've been trying chalk spray recently.
    Works pretty well, easy to remove and cheap.

    I've tried the dots, and also tried using stick on rubber feet which are raised rectangular shapes cut into irregular triangles. The problem is allowing the scanner to simultaneously see registration marks on both sides of flat or hollow parts. If it doesn't see enough registration points simultaneously, it won't mesh.

    I will next try making a pair of long sticks with one irregular registration end, and flat faced magnets embedded on the other end. These should clamp together through flat objects, and stick out far enough to be visible from all angles.

    I just got some of this stuff ...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3312579843...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
    Gives a nice even, light blue coating which scans very well and cleans of easily.

    I would be very interested to some pics of some objects painted with this coating, before and after cleaning
    just to see what residue is left behind, if any.
