27" Mirror with selfmade frame

FYI: Glastroesch.de doesn’t ship their mirrors. They also do not directly sell to private people but give you a contact that does. Apparently they are around Ulm (for those that live close enough).

Hi kruemel,

good job… looks very professional.
Since I’m using the same RCWL0516 motion sensor I have also some questions:

How did you mount it that it is working through the glass?
I tried id with my Mirropane Chrome Spy 4mm but there was no detection trough the glass at all.
Maybe you can share some pictures especially of the motion sensor?

Thanks, onkelbobby

which router bits did you use on the 2x4s?

kruemel

Ah sorry i did not get any notifications about new posts :-)
I will answer all the questions this week

Sorry i dont get your point ^^
Do you mean this, maybe?

kruemel

@onkelbobby Hi, thank you :-)

I just mounted the sensor on a piece of wood behind the glass (to reduce the range a little bit without a tresistor) instead of directly behind the glass.

If you need i can make a picture but i think the illustration should do the job ;-)

jersam

@kruemel which bits did you use to cut the wood.

Looks like you started with a 2x4, cut into a L shape with a ledge, put a smaller strip of wood to hold the mirror and display in.

its nicely done so i was curious.

I just picked up a table saw so i can do a datto cut in wood.

@kruemel
thanks… no need to take pictures…
I’m just wondering why my sensor is no working trough the glass wood combination (Mirropane Chrome Spy 4mm + plywood 5mm)

Anyway, I found another way to mount it almost invisible.

does your myweather module still work?

kruemel

@teegray1124 Yes but i think you mean the “rainfall” amount, when you ask like this ^^
I noticed that it states “nullmm” instead of a number, since a couple weeks.

kruemel

@jersam Aaaah, now i get your point :D

I started with 2

Douglas Wood 4,5 cm x 200 cm x 7 cm

Cut in the half and to my needed length.
Get rid of the wood i dont need with a wood milling, like this:

…with two different positions to get a “stairway” :-)

Hello @kruemel , is that possible to have the outline dimensions, i’m thinking about building almost the same ? Actually, i don’t know what should be the size of overflow for the mirror, to keep it strong.

Really nice setup :)

kruemel

@max86 Hi Max, sure :-)
Outline is 153cm x 40.3cm for the frame
and visable mirror is 34.3cm

So the overflow in my case should be about ~1.5 to 1.7cm

very nice, specialy the price of the mirror hope in NL will have like these …:(

@kruemel is it possible to make pic for me? Adn, I’ve never been playing with any HW module - how to connect the module? There are some “cables” or I’ve to “create” them?
Thanks, Zdeněk

P.S.: nice job…
