Description
Bought a cheap bicycle mirror but the mount broke when I tried installing it. Printed a new one and it works just fine!
Instructions:
DO NOT FLATTEN THE MODEL IN YOUR SLICER!
This will introduce more weaknesses in the print and can make it less durable!
I advise against using PLA as it is quite brittle and instead use PETG or better
Instructions:
Dissassemble the original mirror from the mount. Remove the strap and set it aside.
Be careful removing the screw as you can lose the nut!
Snap on one holder into the new printed mount
Put the mirror into the mount and sandwich it between the other holder
Fasten the screw into the nut until it is tight
Insert the strap at an angle into one of the posts
Carefully put the other side of the strap onto the other post
Done!
Now you can install your mirror like how you would normally
