Does Anyone Recommend Einstar Vega As A Good 3d

    Vega is really good if you need quick scan of large to medium size with good color and good details on small objects.

Einscan Rigil Or Einstar Vega

  • Accuracy & Detail0 pts

    If you get details correctly and stars align, you will get an amazing scan, but that doesn't happen all the time.

  • Difficult Surfaces & Object Size-1 pts

    But scanning symmetrical items is nearly impossible, black objects too at least when I try to do so.

    For the Einstar Vega, we took this scan on the HD mode, which is a lot less efficient than the fast mode, but it does lead to a slightly nicer scan, which is really clean and crisp.

Longterm Einstar Vega Honest Review Rant

  • Accuracy & Detail+1 pts

    I will say the details were a little sharper then the Miraco

  • Difficult Surfaces & Object Size-1 pts

    The fov for HD mode is smaller then the Miraco which made it tricky to scan items. Doable but a little hard.

  • Hardware, Portability & Reliability-1 pts

    Vega still had beta in the firmware for the first month. Took 3 updates to move out of beta.

Manual Modeling This Would Take Me A Lot Of Time

  • Accuracy & Detail-1 pts

    Hi everyone, I’ve been doing 3D modeling for a while, but I’m totally new to scanning (got my Einstar Vega 2 weeks ago). I need to clone these stage light parts (pics attached). The geometry is a headache – the ring has some weird internal angles and the housing is all organic curves. Honestly, measuring this with calipers and modeling it from scratch would probably take me a lot of pain to get the fitment right. I prepped the parts with a DIY talc + isopropanol spray (works great btw!) but here is the problem: I’ve been trying to scan these since yesterday and honestly, nothing is coming out right. It’s struggling to pick up the geometry cleanly despite the markers. The big question: I know the "proper" way is to use the scan as a reference and remodel it in CAD. But assuming I finally manage to capture this, has anyone here successfully printed functional parts directly from a raw Vega scan? Will the screw holes and edges be accurate enough to actually fit, or am I dreaming? I don't need it to be pretty, I just need it to work without sanding it for hours. Thanks!

    It's not uncommon that if I don't use this thing for a week or two that once it's connected to the internet, it will say that, "Hey, you've got a new firmware update."

Einscan Rigil Or Einstar Vega

  • Difficult Surfaces & Object Size-1 pts

    The Vega is going to struggle with black and reflective surfaces pretty mightily.

  • Hardware, Portability & Reliability-1 pts

    there are hot swappable batteries on the Rigil so you can be out in the field for longer where the Vega would need to be charged or have a battery bank attached.
