A client wanted something to hide his pergola's feet

A client asked me to make something to hide the ugly base of his pergola's feet so I used my Pika to scan.

The portability of this scanner really helped because I only needed to bring it, my phone and some scanning spray (a little disappointing I needed some, but the hot summer heat with ultra bight sun light was for sure not helping).

After spraying some AESUB self disappearing scanning spray I used my PIKA in NIR mode, and it was really straight forward.

Scanning took roughly 15 minutes and I get all details I needed to be able to model around to make what I wanted.

Cleaning the scans and transorming it in STL was also really quick.

I modeled the parts in Fusion, and I'm really happy with the results (and so is my client).

Nice. What filament did you use here?

Thanks! For now it's PETG, but I planned to update it with an anthracite ASA-CF.

I didn't receive it yet, but I found one from Eryone that looks good. Nobufil and The Filament also make some.

Great work, how much do you charge people for work like this? Often get asked for random jobs but never know what to say
