Readit NewsIt's never as cheap as you think is it! I think fortunately I have most of the other bits lying around. Was planning on putting it in a wooden frame with a matte.
Are you happy with the quality?
Can't really complain cause there's nothing better right now.
Compared to the previous gen e-ink (7-color ACeP), the contrast and the colors are so much better. I also have a bunch of 3-color (black/white/red) panels - video and more pictures on https://frameos.net/ ) - and the contrast is similar, but the colors are obviously limited.
So yeah, I'm definitely happy.
The displays seem to be available for around $250

$250 is just part of the price.
I just went through the process and made this for myself: https://www.printables.com/model/1189455-waveshare-133e-6-co...
The total price was around $420. This includes shipping, taxes (to Belgium), a pi zero w2, a sd card, and printing a case.
Lol you can hardly get a 7.5’’ for that price. I once looked into making a few programmable ePaper “posters” for myself, and noped out of it when I saw the price.
Having gone through such a search just recently:
- This 13.3" panel cost ~$420 to make https://www.printables.com/model/1189455-waveshare-133e-6-co...
- This 7.3" panel cost ~$150 to make https://www.printables.com/model/1189420-waveshare-73e-6-col...
This includes shipping the panel from waveshare.com, paying taxes, adding a raspberry pi zero w2 + a sd card, and printing a case
