This mirror clip bounces the light from the TrueDepth camera 90 degrees to make it easier to scan world-facing objects.
The quickest way to get the clip is to buy it from our Shapeways store, but it is also open to download and print yourself.

- This design requires high dimensional accuracy.
- As a result: FDM is not recommended.
- We recommend multijet fusion, SLA, or SLS.
We built these clips to work with this mirror from Edmunds optics: 25.4 x 35.4mm, 4-6λ Mirror. The mirror is rated to a certain flatness and has a First Surface Mirror (FSM) on one side. A First Surface Mirror is desirable to prevent refraction through the 3mm glass. The mirror comes with a blue film on the FSM you will need to remove. FSMs can scratch, so treat it with respect!
- The slot is just thick enough to slide the mirror in and hold it without additional friction.
- If you want to further secure the mirror, you can superglue the back. We do suggest you think through transporting to keep the unit safe if you decide to do this.
- If the mirror is falling out, but you still want the ability to remove it. Try adding a piece or two of electrical tape to the bottom of the glass side of the mirror.
- If the clip is not fully secure on your phone, but you don't want to hold it with your finger during scanning. Try adding a piece or two of electrical tape to the inside of the back of the clip.
