Original iPad Smart Mirror Frame Kit

thingiverse

This is a frame kit for the 1st Generation iPad. I had an old iPad sitting in a draw for years and decided to turn it into a smart mirror using a mirror screen protector. So I made this frame kit for it. For those with good carpentry skills you can make the frame out of wood and use the brackets (and other kit accessories) to affix the ipad to the frame. The brackets were designed around the iPad 1 and secures the iPad to the frame while allowing complete access to all buttons. (If you are making your own frame I have used an internal window dimension of 234x170mm ). Otherwise I have included a 3D printable frame to use. It's not an easy print and the quality of the print will depend on your printer's capabilities and your printing knowledge and experience. Also have a look at the printing notes for tips. **Note:** The frame is symmetrical, you will need to print 2xLongSide and 2xShortSide pieces to make the frame. **Note:** Screws are 3mm x 10mm self tapping pan head screws.

I will try to get my app publised (eventually - if they still publish apps for ios 5.1.1). Otherwise the ipad can be used normally to access any other apps.
