New ATLAS 3D Calibration Video

it also does not tell to face calibration item to rear and it is upside down from how manual tells to place it with pointed tips up

the process is very different between the 2 types of cases. one you cant move/adjust lasers/camera like the other for starters. also things are not mounted in same place even the Pi. so this video dont show how to adjust half the things on the DIY printed case. just like assembly videos had to be different due to differences.

cant you see that?

@Pirvan

WHY do you always have to be Soooo hateful towards my posts lately?? stop acting so juvenile towards your elders.

why is this wrong thinking?? there are 2 dif assembly videos for the differences in the cases. so why not 2 different calibration videos for the differences?

but it dont even cover some parts like camera alignment etc which is fixed on acrylic case but def not on DIY case as to orientation to lasers, height from turntable etc. its like saying the new VW Beetle maint manual is just like the air cooled version of the 70s. the engines and posisions are all dif. the limited instructions in manual dont deal with it either and end b4 complete and ready to scan, as does the DIY assm video. and none deal with trouble shooting the many issues posted on here lately that most buyers are having.

so NO the process is not the same nor complete. and yes I did notice the dif calb item thats just yet another missing link in the DIY info and why I brought it up.

besides your contradicting all of this (Obvious good points I bring up) what also gets me is why the OP has yet to chime in!
whats up with that?

my whole point has been that this video is made for only 1 of 2 dif versions of cases. seems your the only one that dont understand that.
scan recent topics in this section if you dont think most buyers are still confused how to complete a usable scanner they can get good scans with. if the only market intended to buy and use these was the small percentage of tech geeks that dont need to be instructed in this then the market is being flooded with sales to un-qualified and un-intended owners that will never be able to use them. just wasting their money. very bad for future sales.

'Since you brought up this analogy, I am old enough to remember the Chilton's repair manuals.  They didn't have a section dedicated to each model, rather most of the common repairs were described once, and the differences were annotated as needed.'

then you dont remember those manuals very good. there are different manuals for each make and model change most only cover a couple years that where same design. and a note in video about differences would also be nice as you stated of Chilton. but different body styles have different manuals no matter car or scanner.

as for the rest of your rebuttle... I dont see your point taking up for a video that dont cover both types sold. REALLY? WHY?

who buys a product and dont expect the maker to furnish support for it? and as for expectations. YES most people that saw the Hipe about how its results where with minimal tweaking same as the Makerbot one. expected similar results when finished assembling it, and have tech support and warranty to help reach that goal. so again I have to ask WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM HERE? did you invest over 50% stock in this thing or what. if you bought something dont you expect some kind of assistance from manufacturer if you have problems getting it to do as it was sold to perform? if your not the Engineer that designed, Built and sold it? good grief man! the printing and assemling of the enclosure is the only DIY part of this, its not sold as a project. just a kit. big differance. as for my 3D printer I did not buy a kit because like most I never designed or built one or any part of in my life and it came with warrenty, support etc. Solidoodle did not start out the same way they finished even if their Techs couldnt fix everything. then there is this site which is where I come for more 'Help' or at least used to be able to get that instead of all this nit picking and bashing just for trying to get some.

I can go to my wife for that...

Hey you two, don't make me turn this car around
