3D prints from a 2D flatbed scanner?

I often find that I need to make flanges. I would love to just scan the flange in on my flatbed scanner and then play with it in SketchUp. I can't figure out the best way of doing this. Has anyone else had some good luck? It appears I might need to do a lot of clean up on the images.

Re: Upgraded to 1.04, now trying to print off bed

I found the problem, during the upgrade it changed my printer settings. Changing them back to X home=0 Y home=0 Z home=max set fixed the problem.

Upgraded to 1.04, now trying to print off bed

I upgraded to 1.04 and when I sliced my drawing it now wants to start the print way off the print area. Any idea why? What makes my head it hurt is from the image you see it knows it will be off the bed. I am running a Rockstock MAX V2 with .91 firmware. Nothing else has changed between yesterday ...

Re: Dial Indicator Placement

It worked like a charm. I am hoping to get some quiet time this weekend to really dial the printer in now.

Dial Indicator Placement

I am having some minor issues with my calibration and was thinking about using a dial indicator I had laying around. I would prefer to set it up so I don't need to remove the hot end to use it. I was thinking about designing a mount that hangs of a bracket holding the arms (1), there is unused hole ...

Digital Multimeters?

So my multimeter died over the weekend. It was about 10 years old. So what is popular here? I have a budget of about $200 for it. I would like one that can log to a pc via USB. I have been looking over amazon and there are allot of options out there, but I don't want to get a lemon.
