Pringles, will do the job - no 3D Printer needed

[wrybit]

Hey.

If you dont own or know some one with a 3D Printer, just like me .. than just used a Pringels can,
some Gaffa tape, a cable tie and Masking Tape (Keppband) and you will be good to go.
Fits perfectly, had nearly no cost and you had something to snack while the configuration ;)

1. Cut the whole metal bottom of the can, so that only the metal rim is left for stability. (As we don't want a short circuit).
2. (Hot-) Glue the plastic lid from the Pringles can onto the left over metal rim
3. Shorten the can to ~20 cm from the other (soft, paper) side
4. Cut a small hole in the center of the plastic lid for the camera ~7mm
5. Stick a few layers of masking tape on the plastic lid, to muffle the LEDs a bit
6. Wrap the can with gaffa tape for stability and aesthetics
7. Fasten the camera with a cable tie
   Done. ~5min.

Put the can on the water meter. Should fit fairly snugly. (At least in my case).
If not, pack some door sealing tape (5mm self adhesive) in between.
That way you can take it off but it holds well.

And via the plastic lid you could still see the meter the classical way ;)
