There will be several 3d printers at the maker faire, I would bet you could have mirror holders made at the maker faire with enough bartering/negotiating lol... 1" holding brackets wouldn't take long to print, it would mostly be design/testing time that would consume the most effort...<div>
<br></div><div>I'd be fine with printing them for you at maker faire for cost of plastic used (which would be minimal, hell I would likely do it for free depending on the volume of plastic). provided we have the time/resources to design the parts. I'm sure a lot of the other guys will have more Industrial Design experience than I do though.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, point being there will be at minimum 5 3d printers, and possibly as many as 7-8 at the maker faire. So between all of them I'm sure your parts could get done ;)</div><div><br></div><div>Also there is talk about kickstarting the RepRap Loaner program at the ottawa Maker Faire, so we will be trying to build a reprap mendel at the faire, and use it as a community loaner model.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've been working on printing parts to have at the maker fair in the evenings this week (just for examples) so if you have a design in mind, or some info, perhaps I could run a few off as tests tonight or tomorrow, and bring them along, get a bit of a head start.</div>
