![]() ![]() It was cloudy and the reflection was not clear at all. My first approach was using mirror foil and stick it onto the frame’s glass pane, but I was not happy at all with the result.įirst, it's really hard to apply this foil to a glass pane without causing any bubbles and ripples on the surface, which makes the mirror look cheap and crappy.Īlso, the actual mirror effect of this foil cannot be compared to a real mirror. This was a tough one and I spent quite some time on it since this is probably the most important part of the project. For the mirror I used a 30x40cm Ribba frame which sets you back only 7€. I usually have a bunch of spare IKEA Ribba Frames at home because they are really cheap (10€ or below) and can be used for all kinds of projects and builds. Make sure to find a spare one at home or order a kit that comes with an adapter. Many of these driver boards come without a power adapter (usually 12V / 3-4 A). I found my driver board on eBay for around 32€ and it immediately worked like a charm. Make sure to carefully check the model number on your panel to get the correct driver board! Once you found the model number, just google “display driver board ”. You get them on the Internet for around 30 to 50€ depending on the model of your panel. In order to make use of your laptop panel, a display driver board is necessary (you cannot connect it to your PC directly!). Even though this laptop would not boot any more, I had a feeling that its display was still functional and it teared it apart. Then I remembered that broken laptop that had been sitting in a dark corner of my office for months. ![]() Even more so, because the instructions in this project required to tear the monitor apart. The only thing holding me back from building my own immediately was that I didn't want to buy yet another monitor. I am currently working on a project that I am really excited about and I thought it a worthy conclusion of this year’s makers month.Ī while ago I found this magic mirror project on the Internet and immediately fell in love with the idea. Yesterday was the last day of march and therefore the last chance to contribute to the #marchisformakers initiative. ![]()
