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:

Project Photofly uses background elements to line up the photographs. The next step will involve AutoCAD. To be continued... If you would like to get started yourself with Project Photofly, check out:

Using a Labs technology preview in a personally satisfying way is alive in the lab.
