A project log for Home Repairs with a 3D Printer

Since moving into a new home a little over two years ago, we've been fixing and improving things all over

I came home one day to discover the lid for our porcelain cup in our bathroom was missing.  Apparently someone [identity withheld for my own protection] had dropped the lid - shattering it.

This simple replacement isn't the same color, texture, or composition as the original - but it still serves the same utilitarian purpose.  And, even so, it's still in use to this day.  All it took was a quick bit of measurement to determine the diameter and depth of the jar's lip to whip up a new lid in OpenSCAD, complete with a small tapered handle in the center.
