Yeap. Just need 3 dots to glue the mirror. Could of made a triangle piece but a circle was easier.

All the machine work on this part is complete. Now to silicone glue the mirror to the round Kovar piece. Pierre

Expensive and not found on any street corner! We use it for parts in the aviation/space industry. Usually used for metal cover on chips and other electronics. Has to be plated - either 2 layer or best 4 layer. Ni, Au or Ni, Au, Ni, Au. Pierre

It is modeled for Morse 3 and I used a cinnamon bronze filament from Spectrum. Ken226 has posted many models for different collets systems as well. Pierre https://3dprintingcanada.com/products/a202?_pos=3&_fid=e029d2278&_ss=cHas

Mount in the cabinet.

Printed a tailstock accessory holder that Ken226 at thingiverse has graciously put out there. About 4 hours printing time. Pierre
