CT scans of AirPods evolution

From a Google search[0], it looks like they've put two LEGO sets under the scanner before, but I can't find them. It would have been cool to see an archive...

You can read the text, and see some images, but the capture wasn't perfect. Such a shame, it looks very interesting. They should have an archive.

I cannot fathom why they would they remove previous scans/links. Maybe to enable a paywall archive?

It's super slick how they showcase the object as you scroll down, but flattening it into a single URL and only making one scan available per month restricts your audience appeal.

I only first heard of this site when they did the lego minifigs last month. Did they publish any other scans prior to that?

So you have actually a reason put your email in their newsletter input box because you wouldn't want to 'miss' anything you can't go back to.

Except the only thing it did was cause me to wonder if they were a new site. And then when I saw this my opinion of them dropped dramatically. It's a dark pattern and I don't want to support that.

I mean, you're right - but honestly it's really fucking cool. I never sign up to newsletters but this made me do it because it's really fucking cool.

Though - I'd be keen to pay $5/m for premium access to what they do, their previous scans. Charge people $10/m so they have voting rights on what to do next. Possibilities are endless!

I have a couple of Patreons for people writing federated apps/code, and it's always nice to support them. Would do the same here because I get enormous value from it and it's really fucking cool
