Best two-way mirrors from aliexpress, alibaba.

@broberg Yeah, I started with the 1mm and it was more like a funhouse mirror so I bought the 3mm and it worked great. I also didn’t want to let the 1mm that I bought go to waste so I attached it to a piece of glass to keep it firmly in place and it worked out pretty well.

@ottobot thats clever :D

@Sultan91 It’s definitely a little pricey, but sometimes convenience outweighs cost. I can get 4608 square inches of 3mm for $0.04 per square inch, but that doesnt account for waste. Or I can get 288 square inches for $0.17 per square inch. Sometimes I can find a frame at the goodwill where the cost can be justified because I don’t have to spend the time and money making a custom frame.

@broberg LOL. I’m a cheap bastard and don’t like letting things go to waste. Same reason that I won’t use a pi3 for my mirrors. It’s still cheaper to use a zero even after the adapters and everything. I just wish I could find someone that has them in stock for less than $20 atm.

@Sultan91 Just ordered one. I’ll let you know in 12-20 days how it turns out ;)
-
@ottobot Wow ok, nice to have feedback from you soon!

Just got my mirror in the mail today. Seems like it took forever and a day to get here to the US, but it’ll work. Probably won’t buy another one but that’s because I have other options that can get them to me faster.

@ottobot I still have not received my plexiglass mirror from China, however i didn’t wait and ordered one mirror locally from Moscow. They are making an titanium spraying on the surface of ordinary glass. So it looks like this : )

I have a few plexiglass plates from an older project, so I think I’ll try it with foil first. These guys offer several different foils and they show the foil’s reflective abilities.
