While the scanner comes with a case for storing disassembled parts, frequently assembling and disassembling it for use can be cumbersome. Many users, like myself, prefer to keep the scanner fully assembled and ready for immediate use. However, the scanner is exposed and vulnerable to accidental tips or fall damage in this state. Understanding this dilemma, the Ferret Fort was created as a reliable solution. It's designed to stay attached to the scanner, offering continuous protection against any impacts or falls. The Ferret Fort ensures your scanner is always secure and ready for action without the hassle of constant assembly and disassembly.Printing Instructions:To ensure optimal results and maintain fine details with excellent surface quality for the Ferret Fort, we recommend using a 0.4 mm nozzle during printing. Minor supports may be needed for the screw holes. To assist you, detailed images are attached for guidance. The rest of the parts are designed for support-free printing, ensuring a straightforward and efficient process. An infill of 30% or above is advised to provide the best strength and stability. For assembly and secure attachment of the Ferret Fort to the tripod of your Scan Ferret Pro, 2 x M3-12mm screws with corresponding nuts are required. These standard-sized components are readily available and easy to install, ensuring a snug and stable fit for your 3D scanner’s new safeguard.Additionally, if you need longer or higher impact arms to suit your specific requirements better, feel free to remix the design according to your needs.
