I can print in black by buying black ABS but the provided cup bottom is white and sides are more golden.
Its NOT pretty, but I am putting a small amount of sample in it about 5mm thick, I like big blueberries 😉
Yes, using the web software Sciolab, I created 6 models. The first two went fine. The third would display some of the information on the right column, but the graph does not display. At this point it appears the page is finished loading but clinking on any more buttons cause the rainbow wheel spin of death.
My quick design for a open bottom gadget works pretty well. The scans I am getting are very consistent as long as I don’t move the device. It holds the scanning distance to a constant and I know I won’t smear the sensor with a slight bump.
I printed this gadget with white ABS plastic. The provided cup is really interesting to look at, there is a reflective surface on the sides and white? on the bottom. This surface looks very golden to me but polished copper could look very similar. What is it?
There is a paint that will dry to very close the reflectiveness of either gold or silver. My other option would be to use aluminum foil to coat the inside.
Any advice?
I made a quick .STL file with an open bottom to keep my scanning distance exactly the same for a set of scans. I plan on making a few more at different distances so I can scan the same sample at multiple distances.
The file should be able to be printed by any 3D printer.
Thank you, I now see where in the online documentation my question was answered… Its OK to say RTFM..
Mushrooms are an interesting specimen and has a few cororlations with another project of mine.
Many kinds of shrooms can be bought at the local market, but its the hallucination and posison ones that are in short supply as specimens to test. One model could be to exclude anything that isn’t a verified “safe” mushroom but identifying a morell .vs. a protabella, both safe to eat, could solve the same issue without the need of the dangerous ones…
