my first test scan and print with Kinect

I have a model like that of myself that I use to bang my own head on the desk when I do things like I did last night which was to scale a print by 24.4 to convert inches to millimeters and running the 4 hour job. Doh! The 4 and the 5 key are too damn close together if you ask me.

All good after that so perhaps something to try.

thanks , then all I need is the Skanect  right?

As far as I know, yes, that is a commercial option and there are others, that was the easy button for me, there may even be open source options since the "math" is probably all the same.

Just wondering if a just "Kinect for windows"would work as I don't have a xbox.

Short answer, yes.

I had the Kinect that I got not as part of the bundle so it has the new plug and came with the power adapter USB splitter thing. I pulled the Kinect windows SDK and dev tools and laid them on before the other software just for good measure.

I have heard the Kinect for windows is even better hardware than what they sell for the console, not sure about all of that or the details.

How 'fast' were you spinning?

The software has a recording timer that I set for about 30 seconds then I kicked myself around in a circle about four times.

To get great results I think you have to do it like Fredini does it and also have the sensor move up and down on a track at the same time you spin so you do not end up with holes in the mesh on the top of your head or under your chin.
