## Scanning For scanning I placed the USB-stick (which was the donor of the USB plug) on one of my marker geometries. To prevent movement I used some blue tack to prop up the stick. Some of my latest tests actually made me a bit more skeptical about blue tack since it tends to slowly deform when under load so more static mounts are advisable. Currently testing a few geometries for this and will share as soon as I'm satisfied... Back to scanning: One rotation of the turntable was made at proper exposure, since the reflective metal of the plug is quite hard to scan, I covered the part in a coat of scan spray. As scan settings I used high resolution with a smoothing value of 20 (provides the best results from my experience). ## Post-Processing After scanning I simply meshed the scan at highest quality and exported the mesh to Quicksurface where I aligned the scan and isolated the plug.
