Hi all, I’ve been looking into automated 3D scanning with robots for repetitive scanning tasks. Manual scanning works, but consistency can be an issue when doing the same part again and again. Recently I came across a robotic scanning setup called MetroHub, which combines a 3D scanner with a robotic arm. I’m curious if anyone here has experience with robot-assisted 3D scanning or similar systems. Is it mainly about consistency, or does it really improve overall efficiency in real use? Just trying to understand whether robotic scanning is practical outside large factories. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi! I would like to showcase another project of mine: A Balance Tetris Game! How to play?Take turns by placing blocks on the base by either rolling the die for it or choosing a preferred block. If the tower collapses on your turn, you lose! Printing tips:Different wall count and infill % have great impact on the game. I used 2 walls and 15% for every piece. You can print the base with 0 infill, 0 top/bottom layers. Scale it to your preferred size! 50% works just fine as well! I also recommend scaling the tetris die up to 133% (20mm). I recommend printing the solid blocks and the base on a holographic plate. It gives them a great look (Check out the last few pictures)! How to customize your own:To use the project files (.FCStd) you will need FreeCAD, a free to use/download CAD software. After opening the project you will see on the left side all the folders with the models and parameters. When you are done just export the models one by one: Select one of the models, then press Ctrl + e or Top menu > File > Export... The parameters:BaseArcOffset: Offsets the (circle's) arc on the base piece. BaseTeethCount: The number of teeth (slots) on the base piece. EdgeLength: The size of the blocks. GridWallWidth: The wall width of the Grid Blocks. (Solid blocks are not affected) DiceEmbossDepth: The depth of the emboss on the dice PedestalLength: The horizontal length of the pedestal. (The width is always 3 * EdgeLength) PedestalSlotDepth: The depth of the slot the base goes into. PedestalHeight: The height of the pedestal. The project is not foolproof, setting negative/incorrect parameter values might mess up the geometry completely! Happy printing and customizing!I hope you like it!

Hi everyone! I would like to share one of my recent projects with you: A Parametric Polygon Fidget It is fully customizable in FreeCAD and contains some premade ones as well if you don't feel like creating your own. The project is available here. So what can you customize?Number of sides for the polygon Segment/layer count of the fidget Wall width Wall angle Spacing Overall size: Height, Width Handle size (The handle is optional) (You can make insideout fidgets as well with it! See last 2 attached pictures!) Happy printing and customizing!The project is available on Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/1537410-polygon-fidgets-fully-customizable-trianglesquarep Showcase pictures:

Having an issue with my brand new Toucan. Had it on for about 15 minutes total. Fan seemed quite loud and 'grindy' from first turn on, grindy noise less noticeable at 100%. Not sure if it was the update @ 12/26/25 but since then the fan does not come on at all no matter what percentage it is set at. Not good. Any ideas?
