Courgette - 3D Scan

A courgette.

Also known as a zucchini, this type of marrow belongs to the cucurbit family along with melons, cucumbers and squashes.

This courgette was scanned using an Einscan Pro 2X and the Industrial Pack Turntable in the iForge, the University of Sheffield's student-led makerspace. Unfortunately we don't have the colour pack, so there's no texture data available.

This scanning method uses two cameras and a structured light projector with a coded marker automatic turntable to get scan data with precision down to 0.04mm for small objects like this vegetable.

This model should be printed with infill (try lightning or adaptive to reduce material) and support enabled, and is in no particular orientation by default. I suggest using 3D Builder's ‘Settle’ tool to find the flattest side to improve bed adhesion, and consider slicing some of the model off to increase the bed contact area. Putting it at a slight angle should improve the quality of the bottom and top surfaces at the cost of extra support material.
