Scan Tracker for Next Engine

thingiverse

Position the Scan Tracker, which improves alignment accuracy, on your Next Engine platform during scanning; especially useful for objects with regular shapes like spheres or cylinders. This device also offers recognizable reference points for manual initial alignment. Ensure correct reference point selection to avoid misalignment due to tracker's radial symmetry. Post-scanning and alignment, remove the tracker before meshing. For optimal results, use ten scans and refer to tracker's reference points during manual rotation process. A volume-optimized version is available at Shapeways; print on home FDM machines after sanding and painting with light grey primer. V2 addresses missing fillets issue in solid version.
