Elephant model 3D scan

thingiverse

I've had this decorative model (of about 12cm height) of an elephant at home for many years, not sure which vacation trip I took when I bought it. Now I needed something to take my first steps in photogrammetry with meshroom software, so it came just in time. I placed the model on a box in the middle of a room and took about 60 photographs from all kinds of different angles. Then I ran it through meshroom with default settings and this is what I got. I've cut away all artifacts of the room directly in Prusaslicer, then printed the model and exported it into the attached .stl file. In the photograph with the dark brown elephant and the red one, the dark brown one is the original that I had scanned, the red one is the print at about 30% scale. A huge thank you goes out to all contributors of meshroom for providing this excellent piece of software to humanity for free. It's amazing how well it works. Happy printing, and don't be shy to post a make if you like the results.
