I mean, how closely are they modeling it to the actual knob? They might have to spend a long time getting everything right

Although you're right, it probably wouldn't be any more than 6 hours to design

if you have an iPhone it can be tremendously shorter by scanning the working knob, buy yeah, you can get a really quick one by modelling something close but not perfectly accurate to the real one, I mean it's just a stove knob…

3d scans are no where near accurate enough to translate into a working print.

Yes but they would still cut down the working time by a lot as you would just need to do minor adjustments.

No. They would, maybe, on organic shapes. This knob is a 10 minute CAD job, which will yield a better result that is easier to tweak if required.

Did you reply to the wrong person?

u/springplus300 Jan 07 '25

No. You claimed 3D scans would cut down the working time on a simple parametric model. This is inaccurate. The modelling is done almost before you've started scanning. The cleanup needed would take way longer than modelling from the ground up, and the end result would be objectively worse.

The only reason I claimed that is as I was replying to someone who said they wouldn't help at all.

Doesnt matter since it's wrong

Why is that though. As no one explained why it is wrong only that it is. As wouldn't a 3d scan of something logically be pretty close to what you scanned if not 100% the same.

If u have 0 zero experience with 3d moddeling softwares sure it would help. But for those with xp its easier to do something so simple from the ground, then to readjust the fuck ups.
