Share your Scan
Now that your scan is complete, why not share it on MakerBot Thingiverse? When you save
your scan, you will be prompted to take a photo and share it. You will be guided through the
sharing process each time you finish a scan.
1. TAKE A PHOTO
During the
Take a Photo
step, the camera view of your MakerBot Digitizer will appear at the
right. To take a picture:
•
Center your object on the turntable so that it appears in the camera view.
• Slide the camera filter off of the camera.
• Click the Take a Photo button.
Remember to slide the camera filter back over the camera lens when you are done.
If you do not want to be guided through sharing your scans to MakerBot Thingiverse in the
future, select the
Don’t show again checkbox. If you want to share your scan, but don’t want
to take a photo, click Skip this step .
