A 3D scanning plinth designed to solve tracking issues when scanning small or featureless objects. The design is inspired by the work of Artisans of Vaul.

The tower features a unique, non-uniform surface with random extrusions and indentations. This provides the scanner with high-contrast geometric data, making it significantly easier for the software to triangulate its position and maintain tracking during rotation.

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 50 mm height, 50 mm diameter.
• Top Surface: Features a central hole for mounting additional supports like clips or blu-tack.

Print Settings:

• Walls: 2
• Infill: 10-15%
• Support: None needed.
• Filament Choice: Avoid black or matte filaments. A light-colored, semi-glossy filament (like light grey or white) is recommended to ensure the scanner can clearly capture the surface details.
