Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a small project I just finished: a Magic Mirror with a fully laser-cut wooden frame.

The goal was simple: instead of buying a frame, I wanted to design and cut the entire structure using a small laser cutter.

The mirror itself is 620 × 375 mm, and the frame is made from 3 mm plywood sheets (210 × 145 mm) cut with a 10W diode laser.

In total the frame required:

• ~56 laser-cut parts
• 10 cutting sheets
• 3 mm plywood
• finger-joint assembly
• rabbet for the mirror
• 2 backing layers

For a 10W laser, cutting all the pieces for a frame this size actually worked surprisingly well. I honestly didn’t expect it to work that cleanly.

The mirror runs on:

• Raspberry Pi 5
• HDMI monitor (USB pow ered)
• standard MagicMirror modules (clock, weather, news)

For a first build I’m really happy with the result.

If anyone is interested in the frame generator, I’m happy to share it.

And of course if people have ideas to improve the frame design, I’d love the feedback.

Thanks!
