Such a cool idea, and attractive images. However I’m kind of disappointed they mostly picked things that are fairly simple, transparent or openable, and look exactly the way you’d expect them to inside. I assume some combination of cost & size drove this.

A vintage espresso machine with 1 group head would be more novel, for example.

Lumafield scanned a 1960s flip flop module for me, to help reverse engineer some vintage NASA hardware. The module contained a bunch of resistors, transistors, capacitors, and diodes, encased in a 13-pin plastic package. These modules had various functions and were used like integrated circuits, but made from discrete components in the pre-IC time. With the Lumafield scans, I could reverse-engineer the circuitry.

What an amazing project and thanks for sharing so much about the process!

You just reminded me there's a video on youtube of a guy literally tearing a Juicero apart and it's hilarious:

Probably one of AvE's best videos. I was just chatting about the peak Silicon Valley insanity that was Juicero yesterday.

That thing was built like a Bugatti. And he's like "why not use a roller instead of a press??".

Thank you for posting this. I've seen it a few times already, but I'm watching it again, and it's cracking me up, yet again.

Holy shit that's amazingly funny.

My personal highlight as he's pushing the button wildly, "oh for fuck's sake. The mash harder button. Es funktioniert nicht"

Also subtly hilarious that the machine more and more covered in root juice as he goes. God that's good.

The auto-generated captions have a scunthorpe problem; censoring a British & Australian term for a cigarette that has a more offensive meaning in the US.

There are scans of other, more-complex objects on the site, such as the Nintendo Game Boy series: https://www.scanofthemonth.com/scans/game-boy-compendium

I actually enjoyed this one more, since it was used to point out measured tolerances and problems with manufacturing (voids, bubbles, untrimmed flash, shavings, etc).

E-61! Second choice, Atomic stovetop espresso machine.

With clinical equipment you can image all sorts of things beautifully, but a hunk of brass won’t generate any useful images.

And even that you essentially disassemble them and see how they work through using them. I suppose a lot of people only know or use one or two ways and may be completely unfamiliar with others though.

Yea, can we get one of a CT scanner?
