It's both free and has no advertising.

After using the Einscan-S in Free Scan mode I have found there were times i needed to do scans that were lower then the lowest position capable of the tripod. So I developed this holder which holds the Einscan-S without using the attachment bolt threads underneath. This allows one to use the kind of tripod which allows you to reverse the vertical mount to upside down with the camera underneath. It can be used for both below the tripod mount as well as the usual above as shown in my Pics.

Two bolts hold the projector/camera in place. I suggest using sticky-backed felt pads (typically used for furniture) to protect the unit form marring.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

MakerBot

Printer:

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Resolution:

.2

Infill:

Notes:

Do not use thicker layer heights or the linear toolpaths will enhance shrinking and lift off the object off the bed. I added small helper disks to help so no raft is needed. The object can be printed without support if your printer does bridging well and you have a downward fan. However, if you use software which allows you to manually position support material i recommend sparse supports for the larger bridged areas.

Post-Printing

Use a sharp knife like an Xacto to cut off the help pads.
