3D Scanning the Electric Motorcycle (Patreon)

And of course by 3D scanning, I mean not-at-all 3D scanning... since I technically used a technique called photogrammetry 📷

Photogrammetry is way less accurate than using an actual 3D scanner with lasers and whatnot, but for what I need it's more than good enough!

The process is super easy.

Take about 100 photos moving side to side and up and down

Import the aforementioned photos into the free and open-source software "Meshroom"

Wait 2 Hours

Enjoy your 3D model

Okay so there may have been a step or two skipped but that's the basic idea! Let me know if you want a more detailed run-through of the process

After all this, I'm pleased to say that the QS120 electric motor takes up the same room as just the transmission section of the original engine! That should mean there will be zero issue fitting all the batteries I need in front, but I am also prepared to be completely wrong about that.

More updates (and less hair) to come soon!
