Hi hope you're all well. Wanted to share a project I'm working on.

I'm working on a 3.5" touchscreen android panel which will replace the standard E30 clock.

Quite a heavy investment with the kit but looking to cover my costs from potential future purchases.

3D printing panels, facias for the first test batch. Imported some touch screen panels from china to keep costs down.

Will have an embedded Raspberry Pi module running android. Endless opportunites of apps that will be native to the 3.5" display.

There is an alternative available for £499 however my idea is to keep the cost down to something even more affordable and most importantly customizable.

If anyone wants to contribute to the build shout out!!

Ile share some pics as I go along but here's a sneak peak of the outer bezel being printed

Looking forward to seeing this mate as I love my analogue clock but wouldn't mind something like this as I am a tech freak, if it was the right price!
