/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Need some help with some reverse engineering. Wanting to get a 3d file of the inside of this quest 3 interface. My CAD skills aren't good enough to make a copy of this. Was thinking of maybe making an impression and then doing a 3d scan of the negative. This is assuming this is the best way to do it. If it is, has anyone done something similar? I did an impression with some modeling clay recently and the stuff required a lot of force to get the proper contours and dimensions. Or better yet can I just bypass the impression and a 3d scanner could pull the dimensions?
