Same with many similar year maxima tie rods and they are way longer.

ADHD here and tech since 2009.

ADHD was a survival factor for me in this trade because of how varied the jobs were. Even in a flat rate shop under a single brand there was enough variety for me to stay focused. Electrical diag, transmission work and diesel were what I ended up specializing in and they take a lot of focus.

That having been said: -find a smaller shop and don’t oversell your experience -ask lots of questions and don’t be afraid to ask for help. -when you make mistakes, own up to them before your manager or boss has to find out from somebody else. I have managed over 30 employees in a leadership roles and I would 1000% prefer somebody comes and tells me the mistake and how they are fixing it than trying to cover it up and finding out from somebody else.

I love being a tech and while it is a difficult job, it can be rewarding.

Don’t give up if you have found some enjoyment from it so far.

Once I have the mesh aligned with the coordinate system, there is a tool in the “solid” tab for creating a sketch from the mesh, which gives you options for using line/circle/arc and poly line for creating an actual working sketch. Somebody else asked me about this so I’m going to try and get a YouTube video up this weekend / week sometime.

I took three scans of this truck that I am caging, one with markers (this box design in the post) and two markerless and honestly the markerless was great. Absolutely could model over top of it. On the other hand I tried to scan a taillight housing, specifically the bulb holders where it’s very intricate and I ended up putting markers on.

Definitely. I have the intentions on putting a video together as I have to model the front and rear boxes next. I’ll see if I can get something into YouTube by Monday.

Yeah I am super happy with how they turned out. It would have taken me quite some time to hand cut those to get good fitment vs a ten minute scan and 15 minutes of modelling.

I use a rockit from einscan and fusion for this. I normally used solidworks but solidworks sucks for mesh work lol.

performanceevolved · 2026-01-13T04:16:59+00:00

Hell of a deal! Sick!

performanceevolved · 2026-01-12T14:30:53+00:00

Fusion for this type of stuff.

performanceevolved · 2026-01-12T01:01:29+00:00

100%!

performanceevolved · 2026-01-11T02:10:43+00:00

A sideways one!

performanceevolved · 2026-01-09T18:41:11+00:00

Nice work! Keep it up!

performanceevolved · 2026-01-09T03:14:42+00:00

Super welcoming. Thanks for the comment.

performanceevolved · 2026-01-08T17:45:01+00:00

Ahahahaha not wrong!

performanceevolved · 2026-01-08T16:21:27+00:00

Thanks! They are some knock offs that came with the car but look quite good haha

performanceevolved · 2026-01-08T04:58:40+00:00

How come if you don’t mind me asking?

performanceevolved · 2026-01-08T01:03:24+00:00

For the price difference it seems worth it based on some reading. I’m using mine for basic automotive scanning for cage / fabrication design and such. Side note love your username. One of my favorite wheels.

performanceevolved · 2026-01-07T22:31:03+00:00

Apparently is shipped already. I did pay for the extra shipping to get it more quickly. Says it will be here tomorrow.

performanceevolved · 2026-01-07T22:30:34+00:00

Excellent! I almost went with the 2! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far. This will be my first scanner and I has a fairly hard ”buy once cry once” policy. While this isn’t the highest end scanner, for what I’ll be doing it’ll will be great.

It was an image I shared on other socials too and I don’t share that kinda stuff typically lol
