      Thats a monster Magic Mirror!
      Its looks great!
      Fantastic job!
      I would recommend placing heat shrink tubing over the female spade connectors that you route to the internal power strip when you revise it again. Less chance of short that way.

        @BD0G - Yeah, that’s a good idea. Right now, so long as nobody bumps it, it should be okay. The spade connectors include a little bit of insulation at the joint where you crimp them down. The plug really is a nifty little addition.

          @bhepler Yes , but the ends that plug into the Male Spades are at full AC potential. 110 V AC assuming you are in the states. Small strips of shrink tubing fit over the end of the plugs and heated to shrink down onto the exposed ends would be a nice addition.
          As long as you dont send this in to Underwriters Labratorories to have it certified as UL listed you may be fine for now.

          I built a plug just like that into the base I built for my 3 D printer and it works amazing!

            Wow, what a massive piece of mirror! I love the triple display setup. And regarding the reworked cabeling I have now some good inspirations for my own make over. Thanks!
            Btw, which module do you use for the spinning globe?

              @Fozi Just so you know. Others have reported that the spinning globe is very processor intensive and a standard Raspberry Pi can struggle with displaying it without stutters or hang ups.

                      @Fozi On his YT page he mentions this is a video on a loop, not a MagicMirror module.

                        Whats the globe code and the rotating text? I like that a lot.
