Video Description

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! Steve's video: https://youtu.be/sP0cwLuEwsw My last video about 3D printed mirrors: https://youtu.be/SCuUQOTehqw A completely different method for obtaining 3D printed mirrors via electroplating that I didn't talk about here but is very cool: https://youtu.be/ywPi1osy7o8 The cool video I referenced about splines - relevant G2 continuity bit at 27:49 (but watch the whole thing!): https://youtu.be/jvPPXbo87ds Music in this video: I Dunno by grapes is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) http://ccmixter.org/files/grapes/16626
