Snilles Magic Mirror Project

Like cowboysdude I totally missed the link to your google gallery. The build is very amazing, I am a bit jealous on the 3D printer :)

Very nice!

@yawns Thank you! :) I know the post is way to long, but when I see others builds, I always want to know how they did things. So I just included all the information at the top. So people don’t have to ask for it. :)

In fact I read your post, I just did not notice the “see here” link under your photo :)
I do like to see how others created their mirror (or other things)

@yawns Hehe, yes. If you are about to buy a 3D-Printer, I can recommend a PRUSA 3D-Printer. It’s my third printer and it’s by far the best one I have had (I built the first one myself). I’ve been 3D-Printing stuff for about 6 years and it’s great if you really want to get things done your “own” way. :) You can find some of the stuff I’ve done here.

@ceddirr I saw your questions about the project… Answers below. :)

First, I forgot to say thank you for your kind words!

Question: “Which order is it? At first the IR frame, then the one way mirror, and finally the screen, is it correct?”

Answer: Correct, from the “front” the IR-Frame is first, placed directly on to the mirror and behind the mirror sits the screen. :)

Question: “I can see that the custom css of the MMM-Memo is already written in css file from the module’s folder. But, how do you manage to use it, and have this look with your memos? Mine are just white and simple… Thank you =)”

Answer: Well, I’m actually not doing so much in the CSS file. The only thing I set in the custom.css is the size of the Memo. The rest is “built in”.

This is the CSS part (in my custom.css file):

/* MMM-Memo -----------------------------------------*/
.MMM-Memo .small {
	font-family: "Roboto Condensed", sans-serif;
}
.note {
  width: 500px;
  height: 200px;
}
/*****************************************************/

And this is in my config.js:

{
	module: "MMM-Memo",
	position: "upper_third",
	classes: "default everyone",
	config: {
		memoTitle: "Flyginformation",
		memoDisplayIfEmpty: false,
		memoRotation: -4,
		format: "YYYY-MM-DD - HH:mm",
		memoWidth: 500,
		memoDisplayHeader: true,
		memoDisplayDuration: true,
		memoDisplayId: true,
		memoColorBackground: "LightGoldenrod",
		memoDisplayNotification: true,
	}
},

You can see all the options for the config on the MMM-Memo’s git.
There are lot’s and lot’s of options for colors and themes. :)

I’m about to pull the trigger on the IR touch frame but not really sure how thick it is. The description says it’s about 8.7mm, do you remember if that is somewhat correct for your panel? I don’t always trust Chinese specifications. :D
Feels like the whole mirror frame needs to be quite thick to keep everything in place. The screen I have with the boards on the back is about 5.5cm already, adding the touch frame and mirror glas to that will make it REALLY thick and large…

I know there’s slimmer screens out there but ~5-7cm depth might be what most of us have?
