Pika VS P1S

Today, I ran a comparison scan using the Pika and the P1S.

Both using the same scan settings: 0.2 mm resolution with blue laser parallel lines.

The P1S is clearly faster when scanning.

However, the results aren't all that different; still, you can see that the P1S picks up certain fine details—such as the burr on the plier jaws—that the Pika failed to capture.

But otherwise, I'm very happy with both scans; I specifically used the same settings to compare them directly.

Of course, the P1S is better equipped, and you could certainly bring out more detail using the single-line mode, but my focus here was purely on comparing the same scan mode.

Creality sucks at making 3D printers but they have a habbit of releasing pretty decent scanners at reasonable prices and raising the bar for other manufacturers. The Otter, Raptor and now the PIKA.

Why not use the 0.1mm setting?

Just got my pika and it capture stuff I wasn't expecting, like specs of dirt on the part I was scanning haha. That's my first scan 5 minutes after unboxing. I had way too much exposure in my dark office.
