The New Hotness

One of Mary’s garden neighbors recently started biking, she recommended he needed a helmet mirror, and I handed her a spare from the Bag o’ Mirrors:

So I built another one:

Fortunately, the Bag also had that (slightly rusted) mirror with a drilled ball, so all I needed was a new printed mount with two brass inserts and screws.

Now we have two spares against future need:

They’re much better than the old yellow Az-El mount, but I couldn’t have made the ball mounts without that experience.

Both versions outlasted all the commercial versions we’ve had over the decades, so that’s a 3D printing success story right there.
