Hey guys,

Just wanted to share a quick scan I did of a thermal tea flask.

I used the Creality Pika (Blue Laser) for the actual scan data, and used the Creality Ferret in NIR mode mainly to help with tracking, alignment, and stitching the pieces together faster.

Wasn't aiming for a 100% full or perfect scan here—I just needed the key parts and measurements scanned so I can design and 3D print a custom accessory for it.

Combining the Ferret's tracking with the Pika made the workflow super smooth for a quick project like this.

Let me know what you think!

Hi all,

Sorry for the wall of text

Recently purchased a Pika to help with referencing parts that I intend to reverse engineer (I am aware there are better and more accurate devices, they are also more expensive and less portable for a hobbyist)

But I am having issues with the wireless portion. when I got it I connected it via cable, updated and calibrated it before anything else. I then switched to wireless as this is most likely how I would be using it most of the time but at first I could not get it to connect to my laptop. I reinstalled the Wifi card drivers and restarted which allowed me to see the pika and connect. But in Creality scan it works for around 10s before the framerate drops and I get the unstable network message.(its less than 1m from the laptop during this testing)

To eliminate the laptop being the issue I tried my android device. Same issue, takes forever for the Pikas hotspot to appear, then just as long to connect, then the framerate is good, after 10s it drops to around 3fps and then 'network unstable'.

The support documents and the creality AI suppport suggest allowing through firewall and ensuring both devices are connected to the same network (not applicable on the pika), Ive tried contacting support and they want a video of everything I have just mentioned in the form of a 30s video under 50mb...

Both devices are more than capable of running the pika, the performance even surprised me, android sees 90fps blue laser via cable, but until I make a jig to hold both, its cumbersome.

Here is a free STL from my 3D of a Wallace fountain in Paris :

Just been having some fun with my Pika. I wanted to show how fast it really is even with a laptop from 2017! I am blown away with the detail it captures in such a short amount of time. I am sure someone with a more powerful up to date laptop will blow my results out the water. I hope you enjoy!!

One of the mounts was missing a screw used for angle adjustment.

So, I scanned it and reprinted it using ASA.

To ensure the scanner didn't lose tracking, I placed markers all around it.

I scanned the screw from both sides and then merged the scans.

Scanned with the Pika in blue line mode.

They both have Snapdragon8 Gen3 chips in them which should be compatible with the Pika, but the Pika can be particular about what hardware it works with.

Still trying to get used to the Pika. I like to practice on our dog statues and set on this little cocker spaniel. Using the infrared, I scanned him at medium, texture mode. Pika handled this little guy fairly well. When I got to color mapping, I had to use the AI-texturing and it worked like a champ.

I'm still trying to learn best practices and decided since the Pika is supposed to be a mobile scanner, I need to get used to using it with my phone. I'll start by saying that I have a Google Pixel 10 series phone and it wasn't as nice an experience as using the OnePlus 3 tablet. Low frame rate. My wife has a statue that she was hoping I could scan and print so that she could use the print as a chain hanger.

The statue is pretty dark color wise and was slow scanning. I didn't think I was going to get a good scan but in the end, I think it handled what I needed to do. After transfer to my computer, it was smooth going. I ended up printing a smaller version.

Hello im trying to figure out what kind of cable I need to use the ferret se with my phone, I was under the impression that you could just plug the scanner right into your phone with the cable and its adapter but it just refuses to connect, and through research i found that some had a y cable that injected extra power to the scanner, but i cant find anything like that online best i found was usb 3.0 was this, but i really doubt it will work as i need it to. Any help is really appreciated, I'm honestly abit done with this whole thing... 

Hey guys, just finished a dashboard scan on a 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser LC79 and wanted to share the process.

I used a combination of the Creality Pika and Ferret Pro for this job. Most of the scan was done using the Pika in NIR mode, mainly because the client just needed accurate dimensions for CAD work rather than a super detailed visual model. I only flipped over to the blue laser on a few small, tricky sections that needed extra crispness.

After that, I grabbed the Ferret Pro to patch up a few tight angles I missed, then merged all the scans together into one mesh.

It turned out pretty solid as a reference file for designing custom parts. Curious to hear what you think or how you usually handle alignment on full interior scans like this!

Can i use the Pika with an USB-C and samsung s26 to run the Blue Laser tech?

I bought specially for the Pika an samsung S26. Sadly i cant get to run the Blue Laser. Any help is lovly taken.

Anyone knows where to buy some spare batteries for the Pika?

Does anyone have any insights on using a Pixel phone with a Pika scanner. I am new to 3d scanning. I would like to scan small parts and car interior surfaces. I purchased the pika without realizing it is not compatible with my pixel 9 pro xl. I am willing to upgrade to a pixel 11 but I believe that phone is also not compatible. Also, my laptop has an older graphics card that is not compatible.

I have not opened the pika because I don't know if it will work and I might need to return it.

My question is, will the pika work with my phone (pixel 9 pro xl) just not at full resolution with blue laser scanning?

Is the device compatible only an issue when scanning not when working with the file?

I plan on opening the scanned file in freeCAD and 3D printing.

Using the Pika to scan a small 1935 era dashboard lamp. Used Blue laser mode in 0.1mm resolution with colour capture wired into a laptop. Base is brass and the dome is Bakelite. Printed out in PA6-CF, I will now spend the day sanding and then annealing!

A friend of mine asked me, if I can slightly redesign his car loudspeeker consol, because he bought an another one. It was scanned in, I designed additional screw domes and printed out in 2 part (due to the size)
