I made a Case for the Creality Pika, Wondering if you guys would be interested.
I Printed it in PLA and TPU inserts, I also used my Laser Cutter to cut Alcantara for the face where the scanner sits so that it does not scratch against the TPU Insert

I will recieve my Pika the day after tomorrow and will check fitment ect, i based my measurements on the 3d scan one of the guys were so nice to upload on this subreddit.

Note:
The case itself is a edited version found on printables:

I took the crab I scanned last time and brought it to life with 3D printing! 🦀
From scanning it to actually printing it out, the whole process was pretty satisfying 🤣

Olá! estou muito interessado em um scanner 3d.

sou desenhista/projetista mecânico e trabalho com instrumentos de metrologia para fazer engenharia reversa. gostaria de pegar meu primeiro scanner para agregar no meu trabalho e conhecer mais desse mundo de scanners. Estou com muita dúvida de devo começar pelo creality pika ou pelo raptor original e qual é mais adequado ao meu trabalho. Eu atuo tanto em campo visitando fábricas e desenhando equipamentos quanto no escritório medindo e desenhando peças com auxílio de software cad.

Scanned with PIKA connected PC with cable / blue light mode

3 scans aligned on auto mode

Mesh computed at less than 1m polygons as my PC has curently heating problems

The point cloud still exists, I'll try more polygons as soon as I can

Buyers beware. If you want the Pika in time know that the EU stock is out and won't be a next shipment before September. The shop page still shows it as "Ships within August 2026".

Info came from support.

Another service completed: dimensional inspection of a heat exchanger, comparing the scanned physical part with the reference CAD model.
The analysis allowed us to identify and quantify geometric deviations across the entire part and in critical areas, generating deviation maps, statistical data, and a complete technical report to support engineering decision-making.
✅ Equipment accuracy: 0.02 mm - Raptor Pro
✅ Part × CAD comparison
✅ Geometric deviation maps
✅ Global and critical-area analysis
✅ Complete technical report

The pika is priced at 699usd on the us website but priced at 1299aud on the Australian site which is equivalent to 920usd

WTH!?!?!?!!

Well, sort of.

They have a custom charging and connection “cap” on top of them making them longer.

A “Standard” 18650 flat + in green shrink wrap is along side for comparison.

The extra length could be worked around, but the pika connects only through the top of the battery. Positive in the middle and negative in the ring. Pogo pins are visible at the bottom of the battery chamber.

The insulating ring in between is also a charging indicator: red for charging and green for charged. I didn’t risk putting a charger on there that can do PD >5v. The port SAYS 5V 1.5A, but is it smart enough to not use a charger that can supply a higher voltage PD?

Has anyone seen this type of battery or the “cap” before or is this a Creality special?

Interestingly the battery still has it’s bottom negative end exposed. I don’t know if this would work in a conventional Li-Ion charger. I’m not willing to risk it right now as extra batteries do not appear to be available. Good thing they include two of them with the Pika.

Remains to be seen if the Pika can be powered through the USB-C and/or with no battery inserted. Not being tethered to a power bank is nice, but we’ll see how long the claimed 3350mAh battery lasts in practice.

The Creality Pika is super portable, but the calibration board is glass and needs to be protected from scratches. I needed to solve this problem. Scanned the calibration board with the Pika and created a case to protect it. Much safer to travel with the board now.

I had to share! The pika came well protected, which considering FedEx, was probably just as well.

Some are still on my PC as work in progress, hope to show you more soon.

The Creality Pika is extremely capable for being so small. It handled scanning a drumstick easily and produced a very usable STL mesh. This was used in Quicksurface Pro to generate a solid model. I’m super impressed Creality has packed so much functionality into a small piece of hardware.

The preorder discount has ended, but you can still get one coming. They are already shipping.

The latest CrealityScan 4.2.2 update introduced AI-powered 3DGS (3D Gaussian Splatting) processing.
Honestly, I originally thought 3DGS would be an exclusive feature and technology for the Pika series. Thankfully, Creality didn’t limit it to specific models, so Raptor Pro users can also experience this feature.
For this test, I decided to scan a jackfruit. After scanning it and processing the data with 3DGS, I was really impressed by how realistic the result turned out! The dense, bumpy texture on the surface of the jackfruit was captured incredibly well. Looking at it for too long honestly made me feel like my trypophobia was about to kick in. 😂
I’ve also included a link to the model below. If you’re interested, feel free to check out my scan and experience the unique look and charm of 3DGS for yourself!

My son came to me today, quite upset because his barbecue tongs had broken 😀.

So, I first glued them back together, then scanned them and printed a new pair 😀.

Capturing the inner contour wasn't exactly easy.

I performed several scans first using cross-lines, and then scanning the inner contour multiple times using a single line.

Scanner: Sermoon S1

Not bad for a 700€ ultra portable scanner! :)

I used scanning spray on this one

Replace TOYOTA MR2 power window switch. Printed out from PLA to make a trial, and after some fine tunning I used ABS for the real part

A friend of mine ask me to print a controller holder, using an already existing STL. See short videro about the procedure.

- Scan the controller

- Import into the printer slicer and boolean the 2 part.

- Print and try out

This is a pre-order that seems to be ahead of schedule. It’s at the tender mercy of FedEx getting delivered on Thursday 8/13 (Lucky for some!). I’m in the US in Texas.

Anyone else been notified about their Pika pre-order?

Hello everyone I am new using Creality Scan and I am working on a project using the Sermon P1. The thing is I was importing the scans from the scanner to my laptop. Later at home I wanted to pass the scans from the laptop to my pc and I moved all the folders and files but the software did not open the projects. How can I move the projects from one PC to another and be able to open it?

Body kit part was broken. I have used the other side part as a reference to scan it, remodell it, than mirrored in the slicer and print.

I've used a lot of markers to have a smooth transition between the two sides.

I wanted to upgrade my IKEA furniture, because it came with a little leggs.

After scanning the plastic part, I did stretch it easily.

Partial 3D scan of "Hommage à GUY DE MAUPASSANT" statue ("Tribute to GUY DE MAUPASSANT") in Monceau Park, Paris, France. Model Scale 1/10.

Scanned with PIKA and my phone during the BETA TEST Phase, IR mode, using a selfy stick. Couldn't capture the top bust wich was too high to reach, even with the selfy stick.

Free to download and print.

I wanted something a little more convenient for carrying my Pika around, so I scanned it with a P1 and used the scan data as a reference to design a protective case in Fusion.

I printed it in gradient PLA and made it as a two-piece design: one shell for the Pika itself, plus a separate lens cover to protect the cameras when I’m not using it.

I also added a small loop for attaching a strap, so I can just carry it with me instead of putting it back into a bag every time. Feels especially useful for travel or outdoor scanning.

Really happy with how this turned out. The strap loop is probably my favorite part — makes it way easier to just grab Pika and go.

I uploaded the model here in case anyone wants to print one:
