The hacks behind my 3D reconstructed wedding cake topper!
summary
Project uses Kinect Fusion depth capture, inspects Shapeways network traffic and decoded Shapeways viewer with JavaScript to exported PLY geometry, then turns around a color sandstone print at a local makerspace under a two‑week scramble. A damaged foot gets manually reconstructed, both sandstone and white plastic prints are produced and placed on the cake, and the overall pipeline succeeds; modern phones with dot‑projector depth sensors and apps like Capture now can replace the original Kinect workflow.
