   I picked up a Creality Otter 3D scanner a while back.  I just opened it   
   yesterday and tried it out.  The scan software didn't work on my   
   everyday CAD/CAM design computer.  Its an older i7 with an Intel 4600   
   video card that works just fine for 3d modeling with 64 bit ViaCAD, and   
   has no issues keeping up with CamBam and ViaCAD simultaneously.

   "Fascinating", said Spock.   
      
   Many craft fair and flea market vendors here sell 3D printed monsters etc   
   from Thingiverse. One told me the people who profit most aren't the sellers   
   but those who license the designs. There's hardly ever a useful and   
   practical item in their displays.   
      
   Almost everything I dream up can be made on a lathe or mill, of course I   
   don't often dream of marine invertebrates, beyond an occasional   
   Architeuthis. My doctor's idea of up-the-system individuality is socks with   
   a Kraken on them, and I was at a beach the day the remains of one washed   
   ashore, but too far away to see that the small group of people was looking   
   down at something.

   I bought some bake-hardening polymer clay for free-form shapes or   
   impressions but rarely use it, I need the strength of metal.   
      
   The current project is a draw plate or roller pair to make replacement yagi   
   TV antenna elements from aluminum flashing. I can almost form the open-seam   
   tubes around a transfer punch with a soft hammer and anvil after roughing   
   the curve on the press brake. They are fragile enough to not damage the   
   shingles when blown down.
