$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.

It'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.
