Has anyone tried 3D scanning and then printing an object? I’m a beginner at modeling, and learning modeling has really been such a headache for me.

As the title says, I’ve been wanting to try 3D printing a part recently. Its edge is damaged, but the seller says I have to replace the whole thing, which feels like such a waste. If there are any online tutorials available, please share them with me for reference. Thanks, everyone.

Update:I finally decided to purchase the same type of material, haha, but I still welcome any related learning resources if you’d like to share them.

Could you please post a picture? I will tell you if it is doable.

Yes, 3D scanning may help. There is still a learning curve, though. For example, cleaning and patching scans will have to be done in 3D software anyway.

I’m very sorry that I can’t provide a picture at the moment as I’m away on a business trip and don’t have the item with me. However, it’s a gear — a part from my child’s toy train. My plan is to buy various models of similar gears and see which one fits best. Thanks again for your reply.
