How Done

The container was closed with a towel, see image above, and photographs taken with a Canon Rebel T3i (ca 60 from different directions). The jpg images were treated with Autodesk ReCap Photo; the resulting STL file was decimated and scaled to be about 70% of the size of the original pot. A new mesh was created with MeshLab's Uniform Mesh Resampling filter. The new mesh was smaller than the original; the distance between the meshes was set to 3.5 mm. The inner mesh was inverted, the two meshes flattened, and the output from MeshLab was a single hollow STL file with a wall thickness of about 3.5 mm. The STL file was transferred to OpenSCAD; two cylinders were created, oriented, and subtracted from the STL file with a difference command. A cylindrical opening with a flat edge was thus created.
