For scanning, I took help of tutorial uploded by COEP FABLAB(In metro city pune). So following the procedure scanning.
Before starting this assignment. I thought that Fab Module will drive modela for 3D scanning. But it wasnt, but it should because
In START open a software Dr.Picza, Screen will appear of Dr. Picza scanning software,As shown In File > preferences > select a COM port. select Communication port.
Set X SCAN PITCH = 0.020
Until all set now I had started scanning. Software counted estimated time for object. It was 4 hours I was waiting to complete sacnning.
Scanning is done sucessfully now from here I exported scanned file to .stl file as Download Scanned_gear.stl this is compitable with Netfab in order to make it 3d printable. netfabb is not just a viewer, it provides mesh edit, repair and analysis capabilities.
3D printing
I repaired file in netfab saved it. I just made that gear flat instead of that having slove in round. and saved that stl to Import .stl edited file inside 3D printer supportive software. Here we were used Riprap based Cura and Printrun I made funny mistek from now. For extra finishing, I filled that gear and exposed to heat gun but due to edges become shooth and curvy. Now its looked like flower. |
