Pine and Spruce Cone - 3D-Scan Examples

I had issues, when I tried to scan an pine cone (for a jewelry-idea) with my line-laser-scanner, the resulting print-cloud didn´t compute well.
I tried free-hand-photogrammetry (phone-app) with good results before - but it works best for lager parts and so it did not work here, too.

Thing 3958326, a turtable, was already on my "things to make"-list and now the time had come to print and build it: https://www.thingiverse.com/make:936369

It really works great.
I used Meshroom to calculate everything. Meshroom needs an nvidia-graphics-card - and you must have patience: The calculation may last serval hous (2.5 in my case).

The OBJ is then taken for the temp-folder. With Meshlab, Blender or an equivilant tool you can cut parts that are not needed and make the scan watertight.

Tip: A pattern on the plate helps the software stitching the photos.
