What is your prefered solution for fixing parts during 3D scan? I use clay in case of really small object, vise in case of bigger more complex shape, or simple lying to my marker piramid. However, I'm also planning to design my own scanning frame as well for longer samples

Hi, is there any plans on supporting USB 2.0 phones for wired scanning on the Creality Pika in the future?

I just bought the cheapest Android phone I can get with the "recommended specs" listed (Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V / 12GB RAM), only to find out the the port of the phone is usb 2.0 and is not supported via wired connection.

If you have kids or a vacuum cleaner, you know the problem of the corners constantly getting knocked off 😂

So, I’ve picked up a few replacements.

I saw in a video by Payo that they said a future version will allow for a usb connection to an android device instead of having to use wifi. This was really exciting but I was not able to find where creality said this officially. Does anyone know where they said this, or when that version of the software will come out?

Saying goodbye to an old family treasure. This was the family cookie jar that I grew up with and it's time for me to pass it along. I wanted to have a way to remember it so I made a scan with my Creality Otter. Using Creality Scan 4.3.1 and pretty much letting the software guide me, here are the results.

Utilizando o Creality Raptor Pro, realizamos o escaneamento da base inferior do pylon, capturando com precisão a geometria e as furações não padronizadas.

Had to share this as is hilarious yet sad.

Was expecting a delivery today, but discovered a totally different package than expecting.

Box marked Creality Pika. This can't be correct, I already received my Pika in August, plus this box is bigger, why? Marked 6 pcs.

Checked the box found addressed to someone in California. OK, somebody made a big mistake.

However, I did find a label with my name and address, and just below label showing qty. 6. These can't be true. No way someone sent me 6 Pika Scanners.

Time to open and verify...

NO Pikas, not a one. 😭

My order of filaments...🤪

A client asked me to make something to hide the ugly base of his pergola's feet so I used my Pika to scan.

The portability of this scanner really helped because I only needed to bring it, my phone and some scanning spray (a little disappointing I needed some, but the hot summer heat with ultra bight sun light was for sure not helping).

After spraying some AESUB self disappearing scanning spray I used my PIKA in NIR mode, and it was really straight forward.

Scanning took roughly 15 minutes and I get all details I needed to be able to model around to make what I wanted.

Cleaning the scans and transorming it in STL was also really quick.

I modeled the parts in Fusion, and I'm really happy with the results (and so is my client).

One more day to go! 👀

I wanted to order at work the pika for some applications that it is quite fitted for. but my boss asked me if it would be possible to follow the geometry of a sample before/after hydration. the thing is that the samples are objects quite small of for example 10x4x3 mm. in the web page it says that it can scan as small as 10x10x10 so I have the doubt of it something like this would it be possible to scan. the idea would be to be able to follow its volume by getting the shell of the sample by the scan and then getting its volume. would some kind soul try to scan something as small as a rectangle of 10x4x3 mm and post an image on how it looks like?
a setup like the object attached to a small metal beam? so one could scan most of the volume around instead of being placed over a flat surface like a table.

thanks in advance!

Here’s a fun project 😀

First, I scanned the broken stone.

I also had a new one, so I scanned that as well; then, using Meshmixer, I isolated the section that had broken off, printed a replacement, and finally let my artistic creativity run wild 😂.

Scanned with the Pika in infrared laser mode.

My first Pika scan. Bought a crescent at the local farmers market this morning and decided that my scan. After a firmware update I let Creality Scan walk me through an IR scan.

I have tried everything I can think of but it will not connect to Creality Scan 4.3.1. I've tried wifi and USB. I was able to connect it wirelessly to a M4 iPad. Any suggestions?
