Extendable Makeup Mirror
I created an extendable makeup mirror for those who want control over the distance and angles that their mirrors are in.
Supplies
AutoCAD
Note: It is important to switch between 2D wireframe and conceptual to clearly visualize how the 3D object functions.
Base
create a cylinder using command: CYL (CYLINDER) with a radius of 4 and a height of 2
Shape of Neck
create another cylinder with a radius of 1 and a height of 5
Shell
make the cylinder into a shell using command: SOLIDEDIT
Making It Extendable
add another cylinder with the same radius as the previous one with a height .1 and also make it into a shell
Lengthening Neck
do this 2 more times with cylinders with a radius at least 0.5 units smaller each time (also make them into shells), add a base to the bottom slightly smaller than the shell below
Mirror Frame
create a shell of a cylinder (4 units) and place it perpendicularly to the previous object
Mirror
add a cylinder directly in the middle with a radius of 3.9 units and a height of 0.5 units (tilt as desired)
