The cable cover in front of our house is cracked. It's not the end of the world, but for the last 2 years, thishas bugged me. I am like that. I could call Comcast Communications, but I doubt replacing it is high on their list. So I am thinking about 3D printing a replacement. The first step is to get a 3D model on the existing cover - Project Photofly to the rescue. I laid the cover on some newspaper and took sxiteen photos. I used newspaper because it made a very unqiue background. You can check out the YouTube video: Autodesk Labs Project Photofly 2.0: Broken Cable Cover outside our house Project Photofly uses background elements to line up the photographs. The next step will involve AutoCAD. To be continued...
