I am hoping someone may have the ability to scan the front and top of a utility gas meter that looks like the one above.
I would like the use this scan to model a front cover similar to the one shown in this link below, but suited for this type of meter.

The purpose of this project is to hold a esp32 board to get consistent meter readings and feed them into home assistant. Here is the project below.

Why wouldn’t you just make a camera mount that can clamp onto one of the two gas pipes and can gimbal for a good view? Seems a lot more flexible and easier to get right the first print.
That’s actually not a half bad idea, thanks for that!
