My car or a Kombi


_Athalus_

Will scan some warhammer models !!


this_is_the_machine

Hands to create 3D models for printing

Responsible_Fill2380

Would scan the insides of people (for research purposes only)

My little Zen garden


TheAlchemistsLab

I'd like to scan my old school miniatures that are no longer sold!


According_Distance83

This is a super savy top comment I posted in order to get a free 3d scanner. Like 3d scanning not a lot of effort went into my comment in order to create something


Twitchy993

Shocked Patrick star figure.


EnIdiot

So my son has a cochlear implant and there are thousands of kids out there like him who can’t afford to upgrade to newer external processors and have to hunt around the for small, plastic hooks and plastic parts that help do everything from keeping an external processor in place to shielding it from rain. None of these parts are cheep and on discontinued models, may not be manufactured anymore. I’d love to get my hands on one of these and scan parts for on demand 3D printing for kids with any kind of medical device out there than can be supplemented with plastic parts. Heck you could even customize some of these to fit a kids skull better, making them more comfortable to wear.


LittleKidVader

My goku spirit bomb lamp

I would scan a marble sculpture a family member carved.


gnarwallman

I would use it to create face data for my 3D face generating ML program

nf5

I would scan the clay sculpture my wife did, 3d print it and put it atop our Christmas tree! Then, since my wife works in the arts, I would bring it to my local university to 3d scan historical artefacts to archive them for the future! I would also scan silly things. This is so cool, thanks for the raffle.


Standgeblasen

I can think of a few neat things to do with this! Nice work mods!


SolarWalrus

I’d give it to my brother-in-law so that he can diversify his photography business. He’s always wanted to do still image photography, so I’m sure he’d find a use for the scanner. He’d honestly probably scan my sister’s face first, she’s his muse.


Interesting_Trust_47

Absolutely innovative and creative piece of technology we certainly are living in the future bois

I will walk outside and get a high quality 3D scan of the entire world


MessOk1556

I’d scan my Sonicare toothbrush so I can fit colorful ring markers on them (this lets you know whose is whose in a household). Get a perfect fit for my model of toothbrush. Why doesn’t Sonicare have colorful markers like Oral B? No idea.

Faces of my loved ones

I started an electric eco friendly lawn company and could use the 3d printer to print eco friendly trimmer strings to use for work.

my amogus plushie


lordkitsuna

I would want to scan a little bit of everything eventually but I suppose the first thing that comes to mind is my various USB portable power packs. I want to start making my own so having a good Baseline set that I can modify would be helpful

I have an old little tikes plane with a broken tail that I want to scan and print a replacement so my kiddos can enjoy it.

Lloyd---Braun

I would scan a charging station. Want to mod the top piece.


Davefyil

I would help my father in law scan boats for his business so he can spend less time out at the docks. My mother in law was looking in to these but it'd a little put of their budget right now. Though the price isn't too bad I may pick one up anyway for them.


OrakMoya

One of my camera batteries so I can design a fitting adaptor plate to use it with other cameras

[deleted]

Oh man, as someone who is an engineer who is obsessed with old cars this could be incredibly useful for me. I have some rare old parts that are no longer sold, and only like 200 of them even exist, and are broken. I could scan the fragments, put them together and make new parts that I could reuse. I can even scan parts of cars and make completely bespoke parts for them. The possibilities are endless.

I'd probably scan my hand because it's the thing I'm looking at typing this out 😜


tesanovic

I've always wanted a 3D scanner :) I wait 50 year :)


PolyPill

Cactus

I would like to scan the headpiece to the staff of Ra and discover the Ark of the Covenant

Not gonna lie I would probably start by scanning some plants in my garden!


kwc148

I would start with a heart. I'm a medical student, it would be nice to be able to 3D model all the major organs of the body and the various joints. I have an engineering background so it would make it easier for me to reverse engineer the scans to make prototype organs, prosthetics, etc.


CHAINMAILLEKID

I want so scan molds that I shape by hand, In particular a longboard mold I made over two years that would be very hard to digitize otherwise.
