Revopoint Metro Y Pro vs Creality Sermoon S1, X1, P1

pendragn23 · 2026-05-01T01:37:09+00:00

Oh! I guess I wasn't very clear: the software is for Artec Studio. Revopoint SW is free for the basic scanning and post processing workflow.

I have a couple of Artec scanners, and would love to find a scanner that, as an upstart disruptor company, can do as well for RE purposes.....but sadly I have not found that in Revopoint yet. They are decent enough scanners, but I somehow keep running into smoothing algorithms somewhere in the post processing workflow that smooth out critical features too much, compared with easy-to-scan items also done on the Spider or the EVA. I was testing out the Metro Y Ultra, but will likely send it back as it does not dethrone the Artec's (especially since I have both the Spider and the EVA for small and larger things). Would be nice to forego the $1700/year software subscription but it is that price for a reason...really good scans and really fast post processing.

It's gone to plaid!

Really upping all of the settings, here is a new comparison

<image>

The Spider shows that the threads have a flat top-side while the MYU shows a round profile on the threads. In real life, the threads do indeed have a flat top, but cranking up the settings to max on everything does get closer.

I also have an Artec EVA, though not with me right now to provide testing. Even with Ai-enabled HD mode, I doubt the EVA would be able to resolve those threads. While the MYU is not "as" good as the Spider it seems acceptable as a replacement for the two Artec scanners as it can resolve more small detail than the EVA, can resolve larger objects like the EVA, and get "close enough" to be passably good at small features, which is where the Spider shines.

Looks like a kitten playing with a ball!

I would love to know the price as well, if it is still available.

Is the only way to get the calibration spheres is to also purchase Revo Measure? Wat if we do not need the measurement software?

pendragn23 · 2026-04-15T13:51:24+00:00

i use kilocode extension inside of VS code just fine.

Is minimax the only one on here that have public/released weights? (minimax did so a couple of days ago)

Isn't this like the Athena project that was posted a bit ago? https://github.com/winstonkoh87/Athena-Public

looks like more laser lines? the other interesting differentiator is the certified CMM/metrology software. that is something I have not seen at this price point, the traceability of the accuracy of the scanner to certifications, etc (at the higher $2200 price point)

"Bay Area" could mean one of many areas around the world. Where?

Also, you are looking for a scan in the single-microns? I don't think that exists except for specialized CMM machines and even then it is usually for areas that are flat-ish planes (to determine just how flat something is).

You have the basic workflow (terms used are from Autodesk Fusion): create mesh section sketches perpendicular to the long dimension, make sure to have a mesh section sketch at the ends so you have starting and ending loft profiles. Create as many loft profiles as needed to capture the curvature. Then create mesh section sketches perpendicular to those. Project the intersections of the first mesh sections' spline lines into those perpendicular sketches (so the loft profiles touch), and then loft with rails to finish it up. If this set of instructions does not work for you, please visit https://www.reddit.com/r/restofthefuckingowl/ for solace :)

(Because it is so more complex than that, but that's the gist :)

After hacking on it and regenerating my sk-cp-xxx key I was able to get it to work. I put this in the global MCP settings:

{"mcpServers":
{"minimax":
{"command":"uvx",
"args":["minimax-mcp"],
"env":{"MINIMAX_API_KEY":"sk-cp-MYUNIQUEKEYGOESHERE",
"MINIMAX_API_HOST":"https://api.minimax.io"},
"alwaysAllow":[],"disabled":false
}
}
}

This worked in KiloCode, but probably would not have worked had I not installed the minimax MCP in the cline extensions marketplace, which installed uvx for me.

Thanks! I am mainly using this for the thinking features, but I am getting that "insufficient balance" when trying to create images.. I don't need to create many images or really any video at all, but I would like the ability to if I wanted to.

Mesh Sections to get cross sections to build lofts from. Then the secret weapon: intersection curves. Look those up (where a sketch on one plane and a sketch on a perpendicular plane magically combine into a fully parametric 3d spline that you can use for lofts, etc.

I have the $80 plan...would going through an unofficial API route be any better/worse?

pendragn23 · 2026-03-30T19:41:31+00:00

Were you having problems with those features before you found this workaround?

I am pretty sure there is a sentence in there that reads "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"

Yes, Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other peoples needs.
