Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Estimated project duration: 1 - 2 weeks
See photo. I need a way of fixing a mirror to the hollow steel rod (about 10mm square). This is going to be a small manufacturing project (25-50 units initially).
The mirror in the photo is just a shop-bought mirror for demo. The final unit will be the full height of the metal bar (about 200mm) on the right, and about the width of the whole mirror and backing being held in place. The mirror glass/acrylic will be mounted on a plastic sheet (5mm), although this can be specified by you.
It will be mounted and removed frequently during use, maybe 2-3 times per day, and it should be mounted using thumbscrew/s or similar. At this stage, any holes or threading can be added to the steel bar, depending upon the final mirror mounting method.
Most importantly, the mirror needs to be set at a 45 degree angle to the main unit (as shown held in this photo), and must be able to be articulated slightly by a few degrees in all directions for optimum positioning (a bit like a car wing mirror).
As a small scale production, the components need to be available from off-the-shelf suppliers, so your knowledge of existing components is crucial.
I hope this is explained properly - I can send a video to the successful designer!
There are other design needs for this project too which will be offered as needed.
