Awesome to hear, thanks so much for the comment!

Used a raptor - it's like a toy. Ads, specs, everything looks promising. So slow to track, so many errors, almost threw it at the wall.

I was saving for the Combo when the Raptor came out and couldn’t resist. The laser mode works extremely well… it’s fast, damn accurate and tracks well. The software is the weakest part but it is improving with each release. The Raptor for small to medium objects and my Einstar for larger stuff is working really well for me. I hope Shining 3D has an answer to the Raptor soon.

@@BenALTIQ sure lollll… have you used any of the expensive scanners? (Like $6k and up)? I haven’t but I can tell their software is miles ahead of what Creality offers lol but, for example, the raptor is $1500 vs EinScan hx $10k… if you’re telling me I have to scan slower but I get twice the accuracy… that a $8500 dollar difference lolll I can work with

@@torodatruth I have a Freescan Combo + (new model with more lines) had an Einstar which was excellent for a hobbyist NIR scanner, software was great just resource heavy because of NIR (long processing time). If you're using this equipment for work - do not hesitate buying a Shining 3D from vision minor, as they said earlier, they really are for professional work, the Combo simply works. I have had cars in and from start to finish scanned what we need in the engine bay in under 10 minutes with STL, OBJ files saved, 15,000,000 triangles + Einstar was closer to 1 hour and would not get the small details but excellent for flat and curved surfaces. Very long processing time though. Raptor - would get 10% into a scan and glitch, put wrong info in the wrong locations, had to run more markers. I guess ok if you're a hobbyist with hours to scan a small dragon figurine or something but wouldn't cut it to be a profitable tool. In my experience, I could get an automotive scan in 30 minutes that would take several hours with the Raptor. For hobbyist, time isn't money, it's satisfaction. For work, it's not worth it. Also, resolution isn't the important element for me, it's likelihood of getting a scan or not. I would highly, highly reccomend demoing a Raptor in person and seeing if it will achieve what you want with your workflow (resolution aside, it does go very high)

​you have a combo+ already? they aren't out yet near me. got one preordered.​@@BenALTIQ
