The Raspberry Pi 3 is powered by a +5.1V and 2.5A
small lcd screen takes about 3.3v.

The acrylic top plate does look nice, giving it a professional, finished look. One suggestion, and this is just one old man’s opinion. Keep an eye on the temperature, now that you’ve closed the back of the frame.

I’ve been thinking about that too. So I started with a closed plate, monitored the temperature and was thinking about making ventilator holes. Then again the temperature isn’t raising above 40degC. So I think it will be okay. I’ll keep it in mind with a hot summer day, thanks!

Wow, beautiful inside!
How did you make the cables stay so nicely squared? With hot-glue?

For me when I started to decorate my house it was very important to have original and matching picture frames.
