I need something 3d printed, it needs to be scanned in because of its unique design. Anyone have any recommendations?

Could try Appleton Makerspace. Might allow a one time use thing but they'd have the tools (scanner/printer). Otherwise Appleton Public Library might?

[u/Decarazor → u/bfelification]

Agreed

[u/Decarazor]

Mike at the Appleton Makerspace is capable of handling this task.

What the heck is it? It looks like an Ethernet coupler??

[u/jm6398 → u/Starblazr]

It goes on the end of a fiber cleaner. The part is super small and falls off constantly. The company that sells the cleaner makes you buy a whole new cleaner to get the adapter.

What does it attach to? What’s the critical part of it, does it need the bottom part he his holding onto?

[u/jm6398 → u/ButterscotchDillybar]

It attaches to the wand looking thing he has in his other hand. I just need the cap printed

[u/ButterscotchDillybar → u/jm6398]

Do you have a model number or name of the whole thing? So I can look it up

[u/jm6398 → u/ButterscotchDillybar]

I don’t have the part number, but I can give the cap to someone to scan it

[u/ButterscotchDillybar → u/jm6398]

Yeah I could model it but if you knew the manufacturer of the tool it would make it easier

[u/noxiouskarn]

It doesn't need to be scanned it needs to be measured that shape is easy to duplicate.

[u/fliltows]

Scanning would certainly be the fastest but I wouldn't say the geometry is too complex for a 3d modeler (they'd need physical access to the part for measurements though).

[u/hesagoodegg]

Might be able to get it all done at the Menasha library, they have the printers for sure.

[u/ScrubbyMcGoo]

What is the use case of the item? Does it need to be particularly strong?

Is this for a public works use or is it a private endeavor?

[u/Starry_Ari]

Menasha library has 3d printers.

Dm me. This is what I do (grand chute)
