My Ender3 bed needs leveling.
Since nothing exists yet, we'd have to manufacture something just to test.
If not satisfied with the initial design, the entire process must be repeated.
We have a 3D printing lab at the local public library.
The kids design something at school, then bring the 'file' to the library where it can be 'manufactured.'
I have no idea what a 3D laser scan of the mating surfaces of the mirror chassis entails, from which each iteration of the mirror housing would share.
Rick Dale of Rick's Restorations would be happy to take $124/hour to create for us, in 2016 Dollars? As many times as we like.
I've never done it. Unlikely that I ever will. Any way I look at it, it looks like bankruptcy.
I presume that, creating a mirror-image for the other side of the car is a matter of a few keystrokes. Don't know.
