3D printable e-Ink Frame & Web Interface

2025-05-17

I made a 3D printable frame for a 7.5" e-ink display and a website to control its content.

On the website, you can pick one image for each day via a calendar interface. A Raspberry Pi connected to the display fetches the current day's image from the website and displays it on the e-ink screen.

Demo

The frame on my desk is controlled by a public version of this website. You can control what I see here: https://inkday.jflessau.com.

Everything You Need to Build It

You can find the code, 3D file, list of the parts used, and instructions for assembling them in this GitHub repo:
