A "shot mirror" so you can see the underside of the basket while you are pulling a shot.

Flair sells a “shot mirror”, but I had a 70mm (2.75in) mirror lying around (taken from a makeup clamshell) and decided to make my own. It's just so you can observe the underside of the basket while pulling a shot.

The zipties and stand in the photos are not related to this model, you can ignore those.

Printing/Slicing:

  • All models are already oriented properly to be able to print without supports. I recommend 0.2mm layer height.
  • I recommend printing with 4 or 5 perimeters on the “Ball Joint Stem”, “Mirror Back”, and “Base Attachment” parts.

Hardware:

  • 70mm (2.75in) round mirror
  • 20 or 25mm M3 screw + nut (optional)

The M3 screw is just to keep tension on the ball joint. It would probably work without it, but I recommend using it.

Assembly:

  • The “Mirror Frame” screws onto the “Mirror Back”, holding the mirror in place. 
  • That mirror assembly then snaps onto the “Ball Joint Stem”, which can slide into the slot in the “Base Attachment” (I would recommend gluing the stem in place).
  • Add the M3 screw + nut (I used a locking nut) to the back of the mirror assembly and tension to your preference.
  • The “Base Attachment” just snaps onto the back-left corner of the Flair 58 base.

 

In the end it's a bit of a silly thing but I have loved being able to keep one eye on the pressure meter and the other eye on the delicious espresso oozing out of the basket.
