The long-awaited sequel (lol) to my first 3D printed mirrors video, where I take your advice and switch to UV-cure resin, get great results, but not good enough results, and then cheat by silvering a chunk of regular acrylic sheet! This video is a collab with (and the idea of a saddlepoint mirror was from) Steve Mould, so check out his video about this very saddlepoint mirror after you watch this!
