When I moved into a new apartment, I was faced with a new (absolute luxury) problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My old MagicMirror, which I had previously installed in my bathroom cabinet, couldn't move with me as it would no longer fit in the new bathroom cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since I didn't really want to miss out on this luxury, it was time for a new design. And this time I didn't want to repeat the design mistake from before: The new MagicMirror should also be \"relocatable\" and generally a little more timeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is the (quite classic) design shown below. The 4mm spyglass pane is framed in a self-made oak frame. Behind it is a Lenovo TFT display. I removed a few housing parts so that everything fits into the 50mm deep frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole thing is \"powered\" by a RaspberryPi Zero 2 W (which I was lucky enough to buy at a normal price before the chip crisis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The display currently shows me the usual weather data, appointments and data from my SmartHome. However, you can configure the display according to your own requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following article is not a classic step-by-step guide, as I have only documented the assembly in passing this time. However, I hope that the information is sufficient if you want to build your own MagicMirror \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety instructions <\/span><\/h2>\r\n

I know the following notes are always kind of annoying and seem unnecessary. Unfortunately, many people who knew "better" have lost eyes, fingers or other things due to carelessness or injured themselves. Data loss is almost negligible in comparison, but even these can be really annoying. Therefore, please take five minutes to read the safety instructions. Because even the coolest project is not worth injury or other trouble.<\/span>
