Assembled my BQ Cyclop Scanner kit from @LulzBot tonight with my daughter. The quick and dirty of the build was it took about 2 hours with a 6 year old doing the bulk of the work and me directing. After she went to bed it went much faster.
The prints are great and the kit is extremely well thought out. I’m impressed so far. I didn’t get to the scan/software yet. Will do more and have a more thought out write in a couple days.
You can scan point clouds, use meshlab to convert them into polygons and good CAD programs can either load meshes alongside CSG geometries or try to detect features and construct CSG geometries to match the polygons.
I also finished building mine. The back cover is severely warped, and I contacted bq, but have not heard back in two days. Will try scanning this weekend
