@3DPrintedWaffles It looks like you’re off to a good start. I do have a couple thoughts:
- If your monitor is going to be smaller than your glass, you’ll want black construction paper or felt to cover the area of the glass that are not covered by the monitor. This includes the edges of your internal framework.
- I would recommend wood screws for the internal framework. They don’t need to be large. 1.5" would probably do just fine.
- I don’t know about the Liquid Nails part. I’m not familiar with it enough to say whether or not it will keep your glass attached to monitor and/or framework. I would consult your local hardware store.
- Give a thought to power. Are you routing the power through the wall? Through a hole in your internal framework? Consider that at the moment, you have to power the Pi and the monitor, so that’s two cords.
IIRC, the people who apply window film a lot recommend using a spray bottle with water or windex on the glass and then applying the film over top. The liquid will let you slide the film a bit while you get it positioned properly. Once the liquid evaporates, the film should remain in position.
Bezel-free is certainly possible. It just requires slightly better construction skills and a bit more planning than your standard magic mirror. Normally, the bezel on the frame is what holds the glass up against the monitor face (and the monitor is usually the same size as the glass). Without that bezel, you’ll have to rely on the liquid adhesive. So long as you trust the Liquid Nails product, you should be good to go.
