      The mirror I built is not very deep, thus I need to mount the RPi 4 right on the back of the monitor somehow.

      I am thinking velcro - would that be safe? Or anything else. I have a 3D printer so I could print out anything, if that helps.

      Basically looking for ideas from people who have built mirrors before.

        If you’re keeping the monitor “whole” - you could use something like this:

        Alternatively, just velcro… whatever works.

          I have some images here. I did a 3d print as well.

            @planet4 Wow, that’s next level. Fantastic. I am planning to move to a new house this year and you gave me lots of ideas for renovating.

              @BKeyport Yeah, ended up with just tape. Not elegant, but seems to work.
