They can charge one at a time. I'm also waiting to get my truck back from service to see if the powerbank will also charge.

Sweet! Reason 1,832 to get a 3D printer...

Sure, it’s all fun and games until it becomes an obsession and the house is full of printed stuff and you look for excuses to make things for friends. I’m fine, I can quit any time really. I only have 217 hours of usage on it this month.

just finished this with my friends logo on the bottom. Pen holder. A skateboard bearing makes it spin great.

Great work @kozak79 and thanks for sharing the files. What 3D scanner do you use? I was thinking of getting my son one for Christmas.

There aren't any good consumer 3D scanners. The best options are the RealityScan iPhone App, the Kiri Engine iPhone App, or the RealityCapture software for Windows (all free). All the options use photogrammetry, where you take a lot of photos and the software will create a 3d model for you.

Professional scanners are too expensive for the average consumer:

I have some videos on how to 3D scan with photogrammetry on my YouTube channel:

Perfect, thanks for the reply. I'll set him up with the app then and watch your videos. Thanks again!

I printed this and got it working, thanks for the design. I'm going to design a single torch charger that will be easier for most to print and set up, using this board and a JST-PH lead, will share when ready (including STEP for remixes).

Shining3D has some consumer scanners that are fine for pulling geometry, just not color. I use AESub evaporating scanning spray to make the structured light work better. I used an Einscan SE for home projects and it was fine for pulling surface geometry off a part. They also have an office in the bay area to try scanners like the einstar...

Thank you, I will check them out. The Einsrar line looks relatively affordable without much compromise.
