Thanks for the reply, I was genuinely curious and haven’t looked into this much beyond window glancing.

I’ve done some level of flatbed scanning with a ruler to get a known scale and the results have been pretty consistent, but I totally get not wanting to be size limited. I generally print bigger things, which is one of the reasons why I haven’t looked at a scanner very hard.

A big reason why I wanted an All-in-one 3D scanner was because I want to reverse engineer objects I see “in the wild” and in museums

That’s an interesting use case that I hadn’t considered. Makes sense that you want portable and adds the extra challenge of likely not being able to touch the object being scanned.
