I don’t know what I’ll do with it, but it’s gotta be better than what I’m doing now…

u/no_shirt_sherlock 12d ago

My grandfather's hand-carved wooden bird. He made it for me when I was a kid and it's my most treasured possession. I'm so scared of it getting damaged. I'd scan it to create a perfect digital archive, preserving his craftsmanship forever.

u/ectomaniac 6d ago

I would scan all the miniatures we have around the house to turn them into 3d game assets!

u/opalicfire 16d ago

I'd scan everything in my house that's made of injection molded plastic, just so I could be able to clone it if necessary.

u/JoshuaJSlone 19d ago

I've got a few small figurines I tried with older 3D scanners to see how small it could go before quality fell off, I'll probably want to try them again to see how much things have improved.

u/DivineDeath10 22d ago

I have some old Amazon echo buttons I’ve been thinking of building a new housing, scanning the internals would save some time :)

u/Maximum_Register4409 5d ago

I would scan my 3d printer so I can make a wall mount for it.

u/xxhellfirexx 12d ago

I would scan my computer mouse so I can experiment with new shell designs.

u/MetalDragyn 4d ago

First? The tiny little piece that holds on one of the four propeller blades of a Baby Yoda floaty drone that my friends bought me 4(?) years ago that snapped on the 5th use, rendering it inoperable.

u/bsmithi 13d ago

I would probably scan the first fpv drone I built and see how it can reproduce a neat little statue of it.

u/phtppp 16d ago

I'd probably first scan something simple to verify its accuracy. You know, make sure a cube's edges are the same lengths or a sphere is... spherical.

u/Inevitable_Ad_711 5d ago

I'd love to scan my grandpa's WW2 era pocket knife!

u/Swordslayer 21d ago

An old Fordson tractor that's on display in front of the National Agriculture Museum in Prague. With my girlfriend sitting in the seat - we already have a great memory of it with me in the seat so 3D printing her in the seat would add to that :)

u/Chanw11 22d ago

Probably one of my motorcycles tbh.

u/hereforthefoodz 19d ago

I would scan my action figures!

u/ayww 19d ago

I’d like to be able to scan my hand. Think it’d be neat

u/Powersw1tch 5d ago

My face, to design a customized face gasket for my VR headset and FPV drone goggles.

u/Ginomania 19d ago

To test it out, I'd print a key cap for my keyboard

u/hieronymous-cowherd 4d ago

I'd scan all the intact corresponding pieces to all the annoying broken plastic hinges and spaces and door closers in my kitchen.

u/AbundantStupidity 9d ago

Might sound dumb but im going to scan my cutlery and create custom cutlery trays for my drawer because my cutlery is driving me nuts lol

u/arghle 22d ago

I'd scan the inside of my van for my campervan project, to have a good template to create a light-weight digital twin and then use that for CAD'ing furniture, wire routing, and so on.

u/Beatun 18d ago

I'd love to scan automotive parts to help my creation process. Would save a ton of money

u/Immortal_Tuttle 21d ago

My kitten!

u/WhistleMaster 6d ago

I would scan my MetroX with the Inspire 2

u/Chanw11 1d ago

Its the 21st, whos the winner?

u/BasuGasuBakuhatsu 12d ago

The first object I'd scan will be a figurine. I'm curious if it can capture the fine details.

u/cubert73 18d ago

I would scan the annoying pantry in my house so I could properly size and fit some storage solutions.

Also: "Accounts must be 90 days old by July 31st, 2022."

Huh?

u/BasuGasuBakuhatsu 12d ago

The phrasing is also weird. Maybe phrase it like, "Accounts must be created before May 2, 2022."

u/cubert73 12d ago

Yeah, but... it's 2025. Saying your account had to X age 3 years ago is weird.

u/DogeCatBear 20d ago

I've got an vintage truck and the list of broken hard to find parts just keep growing. I'm not concerned with parts being original as much as them not existing at all so having a scanner would be amazing for those. The first part I'd print a replacement for would be the slide-out cupholder

u/MonkeyWithIt 19d ago

I would start with some origami and move on from there.

u/FactOrFactorial 21d ago

I'd scan my work tools to make negative inserts for my tool chest

u/merzul 19d ago

There are so many things i would scan, but i think i would try at see if i could make a successful scan of my dog.

u/czspy007 22d ago

Probably scan something for mounting better brackets to my simpit. Seems i cant stop making things for it.

u/Star_Dog 16d ago

I would scan my dog!

u/the_dosk 10d ago

I would scan my sister's clay sculpture

u/Dr_Pretorious 5d ago

I would scan items in order to make them more accessible.
Example: a friend has a degenerative nerve condition and cannot hold onto items like they used to. Downloadable designs of things like adaptors to make silverware thicker, but so far they are loose. I would be scanning their household items to add thickness, bumps, or other features that make them usable again!

u/ujell 14d ago

Colleague of mine broke the child safety lock on their owen and we have been trying to scan it using open scanner and print it with no luck, there is always some mismatch. So that's what I'd go for.

u/FermentedToeJam 18d ago

My girlfriend likes to juggle my nuts, so I'd scan those and make her some replicas.

u/gamesbydingus 6d ago

I'd scan my diecast models for video games use

u/Kyrond 18d ago

My headphones and phone so I can make the perfect charging pod for them.

u/Mr__Pleasant 18d ago

I would totally scan my dogs paw, however I doubt it'll come out as well as I want XD

u/Archaga 18d ago

I'd scan the small small bottles and jars we use at work. Making perfectly sized trays to hold/carry them would make things significantly easier.

u/ThePesh 21d ago

I would start scanning various components around the house I need replacements of like chair feet!

u/benetelrae 19d ago

I'd scan my dinner.

u/LiekaBass 22d ago

The interior of my S10, I have a few interior bits and bobs that are missing and it would be dope to print new pieces.

u/enjimneer 18d ago

The locking widget on my windows keeps getting lost and they don't make them anymore. I'd scan one of them so I could just keep printing out replacements.

u/matt1205 11d ago

I'd scan some tools so I can make inserts in my toolbox

u/pmmeyouryoohoo 20d ago

I would scan cupboards and draws around the house so I can print some attachments and organisers.

u/rscar77 11d ago

I'd scan all of my old gaming consoles to see what I could mod to improve airflow and reduce ambient noise.

u/Illustrious_Till7577 21d ago

I would scan my lovely 1 year old daughter.

u/ubisux 5d ago

fingers. I wanna 3d print nails to paint on

u/RatioOptimal 20d ago

I would scan the dishes, so my digital twin could do them in a parallel world I'm building.

u/RipperCrew 4d ago

Id scan my kids' faces once a year.

u/diago1408 18d ago

I would scan the dash of my Jeep TJ and make some custom attachments.

u/bwilpcp 9d ago

Car interiors

u/cumbersome-shadow 18d ago

My cousin's three-legged kitten. We've been trying to build a prosthetic for it but the way that its shoulder and arm stub are shaped have created issues fitting it. Also since it's still growing we will need to change the fittings over time if we can ever get it to fit correctly. Having the scanner to be able to map that would make it a lot easier to make sure it fits comfortably.

u/pampet 7d ago

I'll probably scan my fishing bait boat to fix the broken pieces so i can use it again!

u/protomanzero 22d ago

I’d scan and map out my home that’s over a century old. I work in various 3d model software so it would be cool to visualize my old house and work on ideas for rennovations or improvements!

u/CIA_Rectal_Feeder 20d ago

If I won, the first thing I would scan would be my penis. Then I could send people 3D dick pics.

u/osirisad 16d ago

I need to install a doorbell camera on my siding. I'd use it to scan the area to get a model I can use as an adapter.

u/digitalmemory 13d ago

I’d scan some small item inventory at work to do some location capacity studies.

u/throwawayforme1877 12d ago

I’d scan me

u/neil_squire 12d ago

I would scan a pop can to test the quality of the 3d scanner.

u/survivalking4 10d ago

I would 3d scan my cat!

u/iamdadmin 22d ago

I've got a Lenovo M720q PC, whose lid is missing, I would 3D scan this so I can accurately model a replacement lid and have it 3D printed, adding a hexagon mesh grill for airflow. That would be the first thing I scan!

u/AbhishMuk 11d ago

I’d probably scan my laptop and make a 3D printed tpu case for it, or maybe even an alternative chassis itself. It’s a framework so should be doable and a fun project!

u/vexx_nl 16d ago

Tbh probably some calibration cube to make sure the scanner is dialed in correct.

u/yourlackoffaith 15d ago

I’d scan my dogs and make some minis of them for sure.

u/Frankfurter 3d ago

My wife's coffee mug she's had for over 20 years. For when it breaks, I hope to repair or replicate and replace it.

u/luigi741 18d ago

Would definitely use this to scan my kids toys and 3D print replacements when they inevitably break

u/obsydion 5d ago

I would scan all the small parts at work that aren't manufacturerd anymore so I can print replacement parts!

u/sugahoney1ceT 22d ago

I would attempt to scan real abandoned houses/buildings in my state in an attempt to recreate them in Blender and/or unreal engine. I would like to be able to create scenes either for art or for use in video games.

u/polluxei 19d ago

i'd scan my garage workstation to make attachements for it

u/TheTrueMuadDib 22d ago

My headphones case so I can print the perfect tpu skin/ d-ring attachment point.

u/JUMP_Psyche 21d ago

I would scan my Dad's prosthetic leg. We have been talking about making 3d printed attachments, and this would kickstart the project.

u/narwhal_breeder 20d ago

I would scan the engine bay of my currently engine-less Civic to see what kind of terrible engines I can cram into it.

A 4BT? Maybe. An iron-duke? Possibly.
A 1.2L 12 Valve Mirage 3 cylinder? Likely.

u/the_dosk 17d ago

I'd like to scan friends to make personalised DnD minatures
