Rearview mirror for tailgate down use (3D Print DIY)

[TickTock]

Yeah thanks going to print the full size (K2 Plus will fit it) in the morning once these router rack mounts are done. What’s everyone printing it in? I usually use ASA for car bits due to its uv and heat resistance.

I did mine in PCTG for its impact resistance, ease of printing, and good enough temperature profile. ASA is a great choice, too.

Count me in for one as well.

Awesome. Going to commission my nephew to print one for me. Thanks!

I own a 3D printer farm and would be willing but need to test run it with some abs for durability if TickTock didn’t already plan on distributing these or selling them. I refuse to steal prints for resale.

Count me in if you decide to do this.

@Coolhandz took the lead on manufacturing these. I cancelled my order for supplies and only got supplies for 1 unit since he posted.

If anyone is interested I printed off one successfully and it came out pretty good. Starting a full batch today and they'll be ready to go out this weekend. Shoot me a DM if you're interested.

Very cool. I'm interested.

Mine came out great, ASA for UV and heat. I added washers under the magnets to move them toward the truck a bit so they hold better. Just need to gorilla tape the magnets to prevent scratching.

I'll be printing a few of these off tonight with black PETG. Going for full size on the Bambu H2C. Ordered the mirrors and magnets to be here tomorrow. This is a must have for the smugglers bay to keep it handy. Thanks for the build and sharing it! I'll print a few if someone is interested.

Interested if you have more

Just an FYI. It was pointed out that this doesn't fit if you have a rear camera washer installed. I have a new model ready with a cutout to accommodate it - just waiting for confirmation that it works before uploading.

Also, I thought I'd share this. I use these 3/8" clevis pin shackles I got from the local hardware store. This is what enables me to use FSD (truck thinks the tailgate is up) but it also provides a convenient connection point for bungees, etc.

What a talented and industrious group of people we have here on the forum!

I nominate TickTock for the Evil Genius award mhhhhhaaaaaa "1 Million Dollars" (say in a Dr Evil voice). Now if you can solve the rear washer issue, without drilling a hole in the tailgate

I did a small experiment here, which seems to be a fail, sadly.

Think it would work using three 2"x4" mirrors butted up to each other?
I may just try since I can get them 2 weeks sooner.

Yeah. It'll work "fine" You will definitely see the line between mirrors but it still a decent image. See image below of the previous model that used three 4"x4" mirrors.
