It’s absolutely not accurate for small objects. I had a few laying around and was interested in making one but didn’t bother until a coworker asked me to print out a custom part for one of his Gundam models. I threw it together (using the better XBOne Kinect) and tried to scan the 4" tall Gundam and just got a little blob regardless of which method I used to scan (both rotating the object or rotating the Kinect around the object). I think it would definitely be more useful for something like OPs project or scanning something much larger.
Comment on 3D Scanning advice for noob
iamanurd@midwest.social 2 months agoI built one probably over 10 years ago now. Worked well enough to scan and print my head, but I had a lot of stitching to do on the file. Was still pretty blown away though. I can’t seem to find a photo of it right now, but I’ll post it if I dig it up later.
Doubt it would be super accurate for small things though.

Found the file, can’t find the photo of the print though.
