I recently looked at the prices of pre built desktop in my country and the PS5 offers better price to performance, if it is jailbroken that is. The prices are ridiculous. I wanted a desktop to play games, the price isn’t worth it. Every month I see an increase in the price.


Honestly, buy one used on eBay, give it a spin, sell it again if not happy. Things that worked: Scanning a trackball I own, create a snug fitting cover for the backpack. Scanning the charging port of my Audi, create an inset for snowy weather. Scan an ITX Mainboard and a PCIe card in it, create a frame that holds both and a fan. What did not work: Scan a small plastic cap with threads and all and replicate it. Anything that has deep grooves, holes, you name it. If it disappears within a 30° angle from a distance of 20cm, you’re likely not scanning it. Shiny surfaces need to be matted, either with isopropanol and talcum or some kindof special, sublimating scan spray. I usually use the thing for freeform stuff that is too aggravating to measure, but still measure dimensions that need to be exact. Yes, the software puts out a mesh of polygons in formats like STL. I usually load those into CAD and model around it.
