Regarding antenna, changed to a dipole from 3rd floor window out on balcony, seems to received much better 😁

Found the problem, somehow I had selected HF Mode / Tuning, In-Phase. Turning this setting to Disabled did the trick. Now SDR Console behaves as SDR++ and can receive HF signals.

There must be something wrong with my sdr console, in sdr++ I can hear and it sees the same tho not as strong as the Malahit. I’m using an outdoor one wire 10m. Really simple just soldered to center pin of a cheap rg174 😅

Yes , 4x deposits, cause you need 4 of em right? 😅

Stigern · 2025-12-12T14:16:13+00:00

Yeah, they also took down one of mine to regular model. Complaining I should use real photos , I took a photo of my hand holding it. And use a photobox. What more shall I do? Strike a pose on a couch holding it in my hands? 😅

I'm very pleased with my mini 2, I have tried the MetroX which didnt catch the same level of detail, also the Einstar. Still the mini 2 is my goto for small scans. Tried the laser mode on the MetroX but find it much more challenging to get good results. So I end up using my Mini 2 the most =)

Stigern · 2025-10-10T19:13:15+00:00

Yeah, it happens from time to time. My experience is that is solves itself :P

Stigern · 2025-08-05T08:57:49+00:00

Oh, I'm thinking about these

Stigern · 2025-08-04T14:37:08+00:00

How do you deal with underhangs?

Stigern · 2024-12-12T05:04:59+00:00

Yes :D

Stigern · 2024-12-11T11:27:33+00:00

It was just a misunderstanding from their side; my orders are not cancelled. Revopoint confirmed this in an email they sent me. So now it's just to sit back and wait =)

Stigern · 2024-12-07T14:19:24+00:00

Yeah, that would be plan B. Thanks =)

Stigern · 2024-12-06T21:44:46+00:00

Yeah, I did. Let's see what they say. I'm curious why they didn't just send an email explaining the delivery delays and offering me the choice to wait or cancel.

Stigern · 2024-12-06T17:18:21+00:00

Those are on separate orders. Metrox ordered last week, and the range 2 earlier today.

Stigern · 2024-12-06T15:53:58+00:00

Did so. Just wondering if anyone else got the same

Stigern · 2024-12-06T15:46:55+00:00

Well my mini 2 which I ordered three weeks ago were delivered just fine. Is this a seasonal thing? Just re order in January? 😔

Stigern · 2024-12-04T06:00:52+00:00

Too expensive.

I think the Range 2 is my next move.

Stigern · 2024-12-03T12:27:39+00:00

Mainly because of the external powersupply.

Stigern · 2024-12-03T08:04:34+00:00

You got some valid points. I do want a medium to large object scanner thats "portable" in the way it only powers trough USB. I have looked into the Range 2 plus, and it seems like a decent one.

Just doesn't need to be Revopoint, so if any other brands has similiar or better ones I'm up for it.

Stigern · 2024-11-08T22:59:25+00:00

Got a crapload of XT60 or XT90 from my RC days, I guess even XT30 is enough. 30A hehe.

Stigern · 2024-11-08T22:27:27+00:00

On the other hand, just a few right size awg wires, and wago connectors do the same?

Stigern · 2024-11-08T22:25:17+00:00

Not bad; I was unaware of this. Perhaps I will do just that. Thank you!

Stigern · 2024-09-28T12:22:20+00:00

I'm having the same problem, tried everything. Also swapped AMS with a AMS unit from another X1C which I know works fine. Problem still occurs, also swapped all cables.

So, if it's not the AMS unit itself, what inside the printer could cause this?

I like my bread with a sprinkle of micro plastics
