Which scanner did you use?

[U2fletch]

I used the Einstar.

Started doing some research on 3D scanners. So many on the market! How did you decide on the one you bought?

[U2fletch]

I think I was watching SuperFastMatt on YouTube, and a few others that were using that scanner. Claugh42 I think also has used that scanner

Did some Mesh Profile sketch planes in a few places to test the idea of using the scan to design a baffle kit. Cut the profile sketches onto some card stock with the laser. Think this will work.

Nice! I assume you will have the patterns laser cut?

[U2fletch]

Yes! That is the plan once I get everything mocked up. I don’t have a fiber laser, so will send it off to SendCutSend for fabrication.

I've used sendcutsend for cutting my RV-14 panel plus some other stuff on the Companion. They've always done a good job for me
