A while ago I broke the lid of my beloved teapot (it's been in the family for over two decades). So I made a new one with my Prusa.
This was an opportunity to try a fun new workflow. The lid has radial symmetry (its group is O(2) for the mathematically inclined), making it a good job for OpenSCAD's rotate_extrude.
To get the appropriate outline to extrude I used Inkscape, tracing by eye with the aid of a photo.
The Inkscape to OpenSCAD extension did the rest of the heavy lifting.
