Mirror Wall Mounts

thingiverse

We picked up a budget-friendly ($10) mirror from Wal-Mart for the kids' room and so I decided to create some wall mounts for it. Print Settings Printer: Flyingbear P902 Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: .35 Infill: 5% Notes: These were the settings I tried and it turned out pretty well. I used ABS and set the bed to 90. I had a little bit of warping on the bottom layer, still trying to get used to ABS as opposed to PLA. Overall, I'm happy with how things came out. Tips for mounting: Use anchors (unless you're screwing into a stud) DON'T use a power drill to drive them in all the way (as you can see from some of my pictures, I cracked the bottom ones because I was being lazy.) I put the top right one in first, using 1 screw so I could pivot it to get the mirror in and out easily. Then I put the mirror in and used a level to mark the spot for the top left. Again, I only used 1 screw on that side as well. Then, with the mirror in the top mounts, I marked the bottom corners and drilled them in. I left the top two with only one screw in each so I don't have to get out the tools to take out the mirror (Again, I'm lazy.) BONUS! I put a little 4mm circle in the middle so I can pop in a cover panel so we don't have to stare at the screws (and so I can, once again, be lazy and cover up the cracked mounts on the bottom instead of reprinting them...) I haven't printed it out yet but I'll throw the pictures up as soon as I test it out. I just printed out the Cover and, I gotta say, it looks good! UPDATE: I added a new STL file for another cover! I haven't printed it yet but once I do I'll post that picture/results as well.
