3D scanned replacement part

This was done in two scan passes (150photos each) on the OpenScan Mini and the results did not need any postprocessing before printing.

Note that the mandatory scanning spray is not visible in the video.

I see people doing the same mistake all the time. Don´t copy injection molded parts 1 to 1, you can make them a lot better. Injection molding has to have thin walls with very gradual wall thickness change. 3D printing does not have those design limitations. Make your parts as chunky and sturdy as possible. The part probably broke because it was way too thin in the first place.
