TimeLight Adapter

thingiverse

This is an adapter for the mirror for the TimeLight display for diswashers by Siemens (and maybe by other manufacturers). The problem with the original setup is that the mirror is mounted in such a way that much of the reflection hits the panels mounted at the bottom of the dishwashers (if this is relatively wide such as for dishwashers set up higher than normal), so that it is invisible. Solution to the problem: the small adapter in this thing. What needs to be added to it is a small mirror that is glued on top of it. Alternatively (what I did), it also works to use a very flat (as planar as possible) piece of metal from the junk everybody likely has in the garage, cut to the respective size, and glued (I used a piece from the cover of an old PC power supply, glued to the adapter with epoxy) on top of it. Then one can add self-adhesive reflection foil that can be purchased for little money from our Chinese friends, also cut to size. And now it works again as shown in the pictures, also with the panel mounted. I modeled it with SCAD, if anyone needs the file to adjust it to their setup just let me know.
