Is the Einstar 3D scanner worth it? One year of automotive projects later.
Couch Built
@couchbuiltAbout
Building cars, mostly from the couch, with use of 3D scanning, Fusion360, and some bloody knuckles sprinkled in. Currently building a 2016 BMW i8 with a 13B-REW mated to a VAG 7 speed DQ500 DSG while retaining full hybrid functionality...or at least that's the plan. Follow along as I overcomplicate a complicated BMW and nerd out on making it all work together.

Video Description
In this episode we look at the Shining 3D Einstar scanner and the projects that Ive used it for over the past year. I also go over some general thoughts, tips and tricks that I’ve learned over that year to improve your scanning experience. The case is not something the Einstar comes with, but a Pelican case purchased cheap off Marketplace. Harbor Freight has some comparably sized options at a decent price.
