The inspiration behind my idea was creating a vanity mirror on the go. I wasn't able to find a handheld mirror on my own, so I decided to copy a strainer. I vacuum formed the strainer to make a mold. The strainer had a wire handle, not a solid one so after it came out, I put a marker in the bottom and ran the heat gun around the marker to form the handle. I placed the LED lights towards the top of the mirror and secured it with tape, before pouring polymer into mold.

For the mirror part, I simply cut out a circle from acrylic mirror and glued it onto the polymer.


To light up, the LEDs are plugged into the GoGo board outputs. I wrote a very simple script that turns on the light turns on when you hit a switch attached to the GoGo Board.
