Mirror Clip

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 clip is built to work with Capture, available for free on the iOS App Store.

Instructions

Through Git

git clone git@github.com:StandardCyborg/mirror-clip.git
open mirror-clip/clips/iphone-x.stl

Printing Suggestions

  • This design requires high dimensional accuracy.
  • As a result: FDM is not recommended.
  • We recommend multijet fusion, SLA, or SLS.

The Mirror

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!

Use

  • 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.

Troubleshooting

  • 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.
