Wow! You sure do get discouraged quickly!

If you get a few minutes, you should read through all the threads on this forum, I think you will find that this scanner is very capable of doing more than the Shining3D says, not less. (Which is surprising in the 3D scanning world)

Free scan mode is where it is at with this scanner, with a properly setup "lazy susan" bearing you can turn the model yourself at any angle you want and take as many scans as you want, as long as that winds up being less than 200, unless you have an amazing computer.

I cannot imagine a model that would be best suited to the automatic turn table. Maybe a baseball? The turntable is great for calibration, then I put it away.

The is the back of a transmission I scanned a couple days ago, by tweaking my approach I was able to scan the entire transmission in a single session. Now if only we could save as we were scanning...
