Hello forum , i have a spindle motor from an HDD and i pasted to this motor 6 facets polygonal mirror, the problem is that the mirrors are not 100% alignment ( it's hand made) and the laser reflected from this mirrors is doing 6 lines ( where it should be one line if all mirrors are good alignment, all 6 lines should be overlap and we can see one line), what do you recommand me a tric to do it to make lines overlap , or a nice method to make another polygonal more profesional.
every facet has a dimension of 3.5cmx1.9cm
Thank you in advance,

Sounds like it would be very hard to do by hand however I wonder if using some slow drying epoxy would work? That way you could attach it, spin it and slowly adjust it by eye.
