I printed a set of four corner spacers and installed them in the infinity mirror. They were the perfect depth, so they rested flush with the frame, and they contained the one-way mirror.
I printed one of the shuttles, and I saw a few areas to improve. The first issue was that it was too wide and too tall. The width made it impossible to get to the edge, and the height wouldn't let it slide between the mirror layers.
There were issues with the way it would couple to magnets below the mirror. I put two magnet sockets in the design, but if my hidden magnets didn't stay aligned, the visible shuttle would spin and misalign the viewing hole. I discussed the issue with my team, and we decided that if the viewing window's center were halfway between the magnets, it would track accurately. I made most of the changes and printed a hidden magnet holder.
