			<description><![CDATA[<p>denhumphrey, The image &quot;5 (4).png&quot; shows that you the laser auto-calibration data is way off.&nbsp; You may have clicked the &quot;Laser Calibration&quot; button when the calibration item wasn&#039;t in the right place or when the lasers were not oriented yet.&nbsp; Either way, you should be fine if you click &quot;Laser Calibration&quot; again with the calibration item placed the way it is in &quot;scan test2.jpg&quot;.</p><p>See this post for additional help: <a href="http://www.soliforum.com/post/98712/#p98712">http://www.soliforum.com/post/98712/#p98712</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I moved it some so that the background is a black matte footstool.&nbsp; Attached is a picture with both lasers on. I just don&#039;t get why i seem to get an hourglass shaped scan each time.&nbsp; Also attaching test picture, crosshairs seem to be closer than before.&nbsp; Finall is the last scan I did, both lasers at 1.9 resolution.&nbsp; Any help appreciated</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I have a few questions:</p><p>1.&nbsp; &nbsp;That black drawer in that position near the scanner during your scans?&nbsp; If so, I think the weird black halo circle above the orange object is reflected noise from that chrome handle.</p><p>2.&nbsp; When you ran the auto calibration what did you use to calibrate against, the original calibration object, the checkerboard, ?</p><p>3.&nbsp; That test shot is inconclusive.&nbsp; Go to Camera mode, turn both lasers on, and take a screen capture.&nbsp; I want to see what the camera actually sees, so don&#039;t crop the image.&nbsp; </p><p>There&#039;s a few things that I can see that aren&#039;t right:</p><p>The little green and yellow crosshairs tell me that your laser beams don&#039;t converge correctly, and they are also not perfectly vertical.&nbsp; Another thing that I&#039;m sure is doing a number on your scans is reflections.&nbsp; When I scan with mine, I put a black non reflective piece of cloth&nbsp; behind the turntable, so when the laser hits it, it doesn&#039;t reflect back.</p><p>Anyway, try moving that drawer away (or put the scanner somewhere else).&nbsp; And if you haven&#039;t done this yet, follow my tips on calibration.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>If possible, pick up some white chalk spray from Dick Blick, <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/montana-chalkspray/">http://www.dickblick.com/products/montana-chalkspray/</a> or similar. Walmart had white in the past, and may have it in the future. Light colors such as yellow might also work. It&#039;s not permanent, especially on a non-porus surface such as metal. It&#039;s matte finish, good for preventing reflective flaws as well. A light dusting of that stuff will enable the depth details to override any reflective problems created by the metal.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi denhumphrey, </p><p>It&#039;s likely that the bell is too reflective for laser scanning.&nbsp; Have you tried scanning an non-shiny non-metal object?&nbsp; Can you post a picture of the Test image from the Camera page?</p><p>Uriah</p>]]></description>
