  • Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Today, I will review the Creality CR-Scan Lizard. If you’ve been following my channel for a while, you may see that I’ve reviewed quite a lot of 3D printers, some laser engravers, and CNC machines, but I don’t have any experience with 3D scanners. So, like most people who are deciding on buying their first 3D scanner, I have no idea what this thing is capable of. I will just use it right out of the box and see how easy or complicated it is to make this 3d scanner works. I would like to thank Creality for sending me this scanner to review, and with that, let’s get started.

    I kick-started this. Had one for quite a while. You need to turn the detail up. The slide with the number 400000 is the number of triangles. Jack that way up and you'll have more details. Your processing time will go through the roof though. I have a 5600x with 32gig of ram and have had the processing take a half hour. The size of the scans will also get huge. I had 9 scans of a Xbox controller shell and it was over 20gig.

      I would have thought the instructions should have outlined the adjustment of the scan resoloution, also I have noticed some other scanners come with a model to assist with scanning tutorials, Creality being fully aware that the unit would be purchased by quite a lot of novices should also have included a scanning model and some tutorials, It seems they have fallen back on their old trick of relying on the community to educate the user on the use of their product.

    I thought using a Creality 3D scanner to scan a 3D printed object to then 3D print it on a Creality 3D printer is a sure way to open up a wormhole.
    But great video. I think the results will get better as you learn more about how to use it.

  • @PM-io9fq
    @PM-io9fq Před rokem +4

    Small details, you need to scan out more then one direction, like scan on top, 22 degrees, 45 degrees. The scanner works just like our eyes work, if you scan from top it does not see the high or low points(depth), if you look 45 degrees on small things it is possible you see more high or low points. Scan out more then one angle on the objects.
    Yes scanning will take longer. Also check for to high of light, from scanner or the room where you are scanning, just the lights of your room could be bad for scanning.

    This was a very comprehensive overview of the Creality scanner. I think if this scanner works as well as you have shown it to perform it should be Ok. " 12:05 I am soled.". I think the idea is clear when you look at something from the prospective of the Chinese. "It is better if you can achieve something good, even if it is not great, rather than nothing at all." The point is; "if I can get the scanner to produce the quality you got of the Banchy I can clean the model up manually in Blender or trac the scanned model in Animation Master, or Design Spark Mechanical. Any good 3D CAD software should inable you to clean up your model. So, this scanner looks like it can prove to be very useful. When you louse a file of a model and have to recreate it from scratch this scanner can save you a major headache and time on recreating a CAD file from an existing model. 👍

    A very informative overview. Is great to see 3d scanners being added to the Aurora Tech knowledge base.
    Would be useful if there was a way to suggest areas of a model scan where greater level of detail was desired. Perhaps even scanning at different speed, or resolution.
    Just thinking/typing out loud, as have not experience with scanners, but would think to be useful feature.
    Hope Aurora Tech enjoys experimenting and learning more from the capability of this 3d scanner. Seems scanning and then editing in 3d cad tool would offer some balance of getting detail desired while saving time on designing a 3d object from scratch.

You show how the average person might approach the scanner but i do think there are numerous optimizing actions that can be taken to help. I wanted to scan Model Trains and migrate the images from HO and O scale into S gauge. It seems we are a little ways off yet. Good review, you and your team do a great job in the videos. Thank You, Dennis

    I've watched a couple of your videos and I am impressed. Now my question: Do you really need the turn table if you are primarily needing to scan small (under 8x8x9") objects in geometry mode?
    Also, I noticed you used the CR-5 s1, but it's not in your list of best printers. I almost purchased this yesterday but didn't' because this. Seems creality has very good deal on sale for full bundle. Eeek! which to choose? If I could I'd get both the Cr 5 S1 printer and this scanner... but thinking about it, maybe it makes more sense to master scan and cad software before going to the print stage.

    I would imagine that if you had used the scanner in handheld mode that you might be able to get more of the details inside of the benchy. I have used an older NextEngine Scanner which will automatically pivot on different axis points, but still has issues with areas that the laser beams can't reach. That is why I wondered if "moving in" would get that detail.
