    Q
    Finished my first Magic Mirror build this weekend. My build: Raspberry Pi 3B Older Dell monitor that I had in storage Ikea Edsbruk 19 ¾x27 ½ frame I built a support frame using 1x2inch boards and attached that to the back of the Ikea frame with 1 inch corner brackets I initially tried to use mirror film on the Ikea plexiglass but that was a giant fail so I ended up buying a two way mirror plexiglass sheet from Canal Plastics in NYC. Initial programming [image: 1598838686700-img_1053-resized.jpg] Frame-- I cleaned up the wiring with some zip ties and brackets before securing the support frame to the Ikea frame permanently. [image: 1598838973518-image-from-ios-2.jpg] Final setup… with dog. [image: 1598839113731-image-from-ios-3-resized.jpg] On the wall. [image: 1598839149086-img_1432-resized.jpg]

    @BKeyport the touch works the same as a mouse click so there’s nothing to getting it working. You get a 7" or 10" Raspberry pi screen they work really great! :)

    So used a spare Samsung LCD LTM200KT03 screen I had lying around and built a frame around it with the intent of using Ikea Ribba frame to go around the the entire thing. I thought I could add film to the Ribba picture frame but it turns out that it doesn’t have glass just plastic which wouldn’t stick to the film well at all. I ended up ordering a Two-Way Mirrored Acrylic - Clear 3 mm Thick, 500 mm Wide, 700 mm Long, Color: Clear – 146 from here:https://www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/cut_to_size_plastic/two_way_mirrored_acrylic/558 and it looks great. I even used a hacksaw blade glued to the top of the frame so I could put magnets in the Ikea frame for easy removal. However, with it off I can see the MM fine but with it on it’s very dim and really only useable at night. I’ve moved the screen to where it get’s less reflections but no real joy. The monitor is as bight and contrast as it will go. What are my options? Pictures below. https://imgur.com/a/cOpHjex

    Very nice mirror. I really like the framing as well as your content choices. I’m working on copying some of what you did… I successfully installed the before-current-next month calendars. I figured out how to copy what you did with the ‘extra’ days on the beginning and end of each month. What I can’t seem to get going is how to have only the current month’s current day highlighted. Pointer? Please.

    @Cr4z33 - I can do better than guess. I bought it from www.twowaymirrors.com. They have a rep, @twowaymirrors who is on this forum every so often. They were great and I pretty much only use them at this point. It’s their 50% transmission model, I think. I’d have to check the receipt.

    @bachoo786 Hello thanks! Unfortunately there is no video or guide how i made it, but i can answer you of any question about this process. The rest of the mirror is covered by black foil 3M. About the question for the dielectric mirror, i cannot make a difference between two way mirror and dielectric because this is my first project and i never used before two way mirror:)

    Hi @Wuz0ink well done amazing job. Just a quick question how is your glass? is it better than a dielectric mirror? as in when the screen is turned off does it behave like a normal mirror? thanks.

    Thanks, I know I couldn’t get the monitor to be less bright, so depending on the angle and the distance you can see shining through
