Reproduction mirror switch project

1.32 batch sold out. Thank you for supporting the project. The 1.33 version (10 pcs) should appear no later than end of Jan 2023.

Hi, I would love to buy one, if there are any available.

Also, I'm in Poland, too (Wroclaw)!

The 1.33 batch got delayed a bit (a bad luck with interference fit - had to order some 3D printed parts once again). I'm slowly moving closer to final assembly and tests - if nothing else surprises me, the switches should be available by the end of March.

Hey there, is the next batch going to be available soon?

I slowed down a bit mostly because of the pretty low interest at the moment. I guess surface quality may be the main obstacle here and I'm investigating possible solutions for that.
I've also almost finished a slight redesign of the illuminated insert holder and some other minor technological improvements (with no impact on function or appearance). I think the next small batch will be ready late autumn.

Just a little update on the next batch (V1.34). I've finally tested a new way to get the surface quality closer to that of the original switch. Here's the comparison, from left to right: current design (V1.33), OEM switch and V1.34 (chemically polished).

The new post processing method, apart from being pretty expensive, causes a couple of new issues, like some strange distorsions of the critical geometry of the part, disappearing edges etc. Another redesign is needed to compensate those effects.
