I didn’t even know that 3D scanning was something that existed before starting this project. I didn’t know how the technology worked or what to use to do the scan itself. It was even more interesting to learn that I can do it at home using my front camera. The process of scanning wasn’t the smoothest sailing because it took a lot of trial and error to get it right and there were still certain annoying imperfections but overall my scan came out well.
Below are some screenshots of my original scan.
Here is the model in Tinkercad.
In hindsight, I wish I had taken off my mask for the scan.
I finally got into the 3Space lab to plug the STL file into the 3D printer. While looking at my scanned model, I noticed a lot of inconsistencies in the bottom so I decided to put myself on a base of sorts in Tinkercad.
I have no idea what happened.
