      Just thought I would share my “costume” RPi3 box with you. It’s made so you can fit a 28x28x15mm heat sink on it, so you would not need a fan. Also it’s made to be fasten on the long side and so it’s easily removable. You can see a variant of in om my own MagicMirror.

      Here you can find the actual Box.

      Enjoy. 🙂

      If you cant find it, make it and share it!

        Excellent design and implementation. Very impressive!

        I’d be interested in knowing the temperature difference, before and after the use of your custom box with the big heat sink.

          @Mykle1 I’m not sure of the temp before the heat sink. I never really payed any attention to it. I had already decided to use a big passive heat sink after reading trough some threads here. So I never tried running the mirror without a heat sink when it was built.
          But now when it’s all complete, It’s hovering around 50-55 degrees celsius when all is up and running.
          Even if I switch profiles, show, hide modules and “use” the mirror so to speak. 🙂
