And it’s been a year since this video! So that makes 2 years on the gaskets. I wonder how they’re doing.

    Most of the gaskets I’ve made are for oily things and I’m not sure all would be clean enough and/or fit on my flatbed. That does sound like a very fast/effective method though! Especially if you found yourself needing to do this fairly frequently.

      Photographing fairly flat angle with your phone and then scaling the imported image using a dimension such as the diameter of a screw hole or something will get you VERY close as well for more prohibitive items!

      3D Scanner is really worth while if you do a lot but that’s a bit of a barrier to entry for most people currently but hopefully follows the trend of printers getting better and more affordable.
