Hey guys,
so I gave myself a little 3d print project for a repair job in my house. After my place was flooded by hurricane sandy, I redid my basement.
I used the existing plumbing in the bathroom and the shower kit I used wasn't a perfect fit. As it was a bit different from the previous
shower I had down there. In the process of putting the shower walls in we had to put the water pipe hole in a different location than
what was designed for the kit. as a result I was left with a big hole on a non flat part of the wall. So the included cover would no longer work.
Here is a quick write up are some pictures.
thanks for taking a look!

Here is the problem hole
Next I scanned the profile of the wall I made with folded aluminum foil
Then I quickly modeled a shape in Moi3d - pretty easy!
I used Simplify3D to setup the printer profile and I printed it out twice. One in grey and one in clear. I don't have white so I need to see
which one is better looking. Maybe I'll paint it....
Before I secure it in place I have to decide on color. I tried rustoleum chrome but I don't think it will last in the shower so I may just use glossy white spray paint.
the grey piece I sanded it down and it feels so smooth, I don't want to cover it!
and it actually fits!
