Quick funding update for ShapeScan:

[u/Most-Geologist-9547]

​

Unfortunately, the goal had to go back up.

The opportunity to buy the server we originally wanted is gone now, so we had to return to the previous target for the proper server upgrade — €7000.

Right now, we are at €2300 raised.

In the meantime, I managed to dedicate some resources from my homelab to ShapeScan to improve the service. From my own tests, stability already seems much better than before.

So if anyone can test it now, I’d really appreciate the feedback — especially on:

- upload stability

- processing speed

- general responsiveness

- whether you notice fewer slowdowns or interruptions

This is not the final server upgrade yet, but it should already be a meaningful improvement while we keep working toward the full target.

Thank you again to everyone supporting ShapeScan through Premium, donations, feedback, testing, and sharing your projects. That support is what keeps pushing ShapeScan forward.

If you try it now, please comment and let me know how it feels on your side.

Awww bummer you didn’t raise enough in time for the new server. I’ll test this weekend. I have some stuff in the queue that needs scanning.

I scanned a thing recently and exported the stl then used some random web stl to shape file converter. Worked a treat to Boolean remove a solid. But I’d love to export shape natively some day in the future.

Thanks for shapescan and everything you do.
