Can't send files to laptop

Can't send files to laptop

[Used Otter Lite]

The app is not letting me share a file to my pc or, in this case, my laptop. I made sure to allow the app to communicate through windows defender firewall (both private and public selected).

Has anyone had the same issue and found a fix?

Creality Sermoon P1 Battery Protection (to keep the magic smoke in)

The P1 arrives with a spare battery to quickly continue scanning after the first one dies. In its original case it has quite a nice and protected place but I like to toss the P1 in other cases or bags so the battery has to go with it. Since it has exposed pins (not exposed but something like a key or coin could lodge in the contacts) I wanted a small protective cover that just slides on the battery and protects the pins from any foreign material. The part I came up with must be printed from TPU and is friction fit on the battery and is small enough to still fit on one of the compartments of the original case when using it.
You may also look at the lens protector and lens covers I designed for the P1 to allow transport outside of the original case (still pay attention not to damage the scanner).

Printing and Assembly

I just used my A1 Mini and some cheap Geetech TPU, 0,4mm nozzle works fine and a softer TPU may be preferable. After printing remove eventual stringing from the parts and slide the protector on the battery when transporting it outside of the original case.

Can anyone else here use the raptor (pro) blue laser mode with the mobile app? The preview shows the markers and tracks them just fine, but the laser lines don't actually appear in the preview (they are physically on) and if I start the scan it just says "too close" and never scans. If I use my PC though (same marker layout, same object) it scans just fine. I've tried resetting and calibrating, and it always works on my PC but never works on my phone. Seems like a software issue, but clearing the cache and reinstalling the all hasn't helped. My phone is an Android btw.

Hey

Since it happens even more frequently recently I think I am asking here for help or at least feedback.

Sometimes (and an increasing amount of times) the scanner's depth sensor/camera does not work... e.g. in marker mode it sees the markers but not the part (even though both the IR and RGB camera seem to work. (Example in screenshot)

And also have a lot of "runaway" scans in Geometry mode where it makes kind of 3D Lines of scanned areas (see second screenshot)

I know it is the 4.2.0 version in the screenshot because I reinstalled the software, thought it would help. But I had the same issues with 4.2.1 and previous versions.

Factory reset and recalibrating of the scanner also did not help.

Did also happen in Geometry mode.

Sometimes a restart of the software fixes it but sometimes it doesn't... sometimes unplugging and reconnecting the scanner helps but other times it doesnt. Had the same thing happen on my phone to. And the scan software on PC also seems to hang/load forever every second scan and has to be force closed via task manager.

Well since I still got no answer from CS I thought I try here :)

Anyone else had those or similar problems with an Otter?

hey eveeryone, I am new to scanning, have a ferret scn pro, yesterday I scanned a small object and been trying to do fusing and meshing. I scanned the part in the pieces, upper part and the bottom. The problem is, the software manages to mesh one part but when it is time to fuse the second part it says not enough memory. well, I cleared almost 40 gb of unnecessary apps and currently have 70ish gb free space but it still says the same thing. currently don't haver anyother scans inside the software. I had some poor quality scaning area so I scanned some parts several times which led to create so much frames and points. Do you think is it the issue or is there any other method that I could try. thank you all in advance.

Is there any point on keeping hand on Otter with scan bridge when I have bought P1?
Are there any thigs otter can do better that would justify not selling it? I don't see anything right now, but i might be missing something. Thanks!
