      Hello forum,
      I’m just starting my first project. RP 3B+ is available, but all other parts are missing. Can I have some hints where to find the parts needed to build a nice MM.

      -frame
      -mirror glass
      -LCD display
      -IR frame for touch (good Idea??)

      Looking forward to receive your answers,

      Weste

        @Weste This guide has links to where you can find most of the materials. Amazon also has IR touch panels. Personally, I think adding touch to a mirror is asking for constant stains on the glass, but I haven’t tried it myself.

          @Weste - I’ve had good experience with www.twowaymirrors.com to source the glass. LCDs were monitors I bought off of Amazon that had the correct dimensions and HDMI ports that faced down.

          I also do not add touch capability to my mirrors. You’ll put smears on your mirror.

          I build my own frames. It’s not very difficult. If you don’t have tools or much woodworking experience, you can go to a local frame shop for the facing frame (the pretty part that will border your glass).
