iPhone 3D Scanner (iPhone X, XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max)

This is a simple mirror attachment to be used on an iPhone iPhone X, XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max to be able to 3d scan with your iPhone (with FaceID). There are three main designs (determined by iPhone dimensions). Each design has two variations, one is designed to fit over my iPhone 11 Pro case (Spigen Liquid Armor - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T1P48F9/) and I believe that this is a fairly standard case thickness (approximately 2mm additional thickness on each side). The second variation is designed to fit any of the listed iPhones without any case. This is designed to fit a 2"x2" craft mirror (2 inch Glass Craft Mirror - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H0ZU1QA/) which can be glued into the design. A note on design: I have seen and tested multiple different mirror designs and in my experience the 2"x1" mirror set ups do not work to utilize the full 3d scanning range of the iPhones TrueDepth Camera. This 2"x2" mirror design can be positioned a few mm below the TrueDepth camera for optimal scanning. This attachment only works with an accompanying iPhone application. My preference is Capture (https://apps.apple.com/in/app/capture-3d-scan-anything/id1444183458) with high resolution scanning enabled, but this design will work with any of the apps. Some of the other popular ones are Scandy and Heges. Depending on the app that you use, there are various steps that may need to be completed to make the scan 3d printable. Below are the steps to make the scan 3d printable if you use Capture: usdz to stl: Either use Capture's website (platform.StandardCyborg.com) to export the scan as an obj or alternatively message the scan to yourself and save the usdz file to desktop where you can convert it to an stl file using Xcode Point cloud to mesh: I have found that MeshLab is the easiest way to convert the scan from points to an actual mesh. Simply follow the instructions on this website to preform surface reconstruction: http://fabacademy.org/archives/2014/tutorials/pointcloudToSTL.html **UPDATE 3/17/21** Today I added a new version of each of the files that is identified with an "L" at the start of the file name (the L is for larger). The only change made in these files is that the mirror area is a 2.1" square instead of 2.0" square that the original files use. This should accommodate for the higher end of the manufacturers tolerances and allow users with slightly larger mirrors to fit without the need to scale (which often results in the clip not functioning properly). If you need to use these files, I highly recommend that you place the mirror snuggly against the bottom of the mirror cut out for best scanning results.
