My daughter shoots trap with a Beretta A400 Multitarget. The shell catcher she likes to use, the black part in the attached image, is no longer made. The one she has has worn enough were it doesn't stay on the gun. I haven't bee able to find an alternative. The standard wire ones that flip down to allow normal operation don't seem to be an option. It seems the exuberant ejection just pushes it out of the way. Is there a way to scan the one I have to make a model to 3D print it? My CAD abilities are not that good to be able to re-create it directly.

I’ll respond since no one else has - this is not my area of expertise.

I know new iPhones have lidar in them. I’ve got a 12 and it is definitely not good enough to capture small objects with that much detail. If you have a much later iPhone, I would at least try that since it’s free.

Even still, that will probably just net you a better starting point for CAD’ing the file. It sounds like this might be what you’re looking for.

Hope this helps.
