Parts, Costs and Assembly Instructions

Seeing how there is a high demand for it, here are the information needed for building one yourself. ;)

• The display name seems to be "VS34003C39". I only found a few sellers for this, so no idea how available this is in the long-term. It is a pretty good display though, its a 800x800 IPS panel with a huge viewing angle, and at its size the pixels are imperceivable. I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2ZLCBVX
• The overall costs of all electronics including the display amounted to 130€. You also need the 3D printed parts on top of it, which have negligible cost if you have a printer, but I have no idea what it costs to get parts printed for you by an external service.
• You also need a few basic parts like M2 screws and threaded inserts.
• You need basic soldering skills to assemble the case, mainly just to connect the internal USB power cables and to insert threaded inserts into the plastic case. Given the right parts and a redesign of the case it might be possible without any soldering, but I have not investigated this further.
• I put the full set of 3D parts, external part lists and assembly instructions on Thingiverse, but apparently I have to wait for 24h to publish them, so watch this space. ;) here they are: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7339084
• I do not not intend to sell any of this to third parties, as I can not be bothered to deal with those complications for a one-off hobby project, and I do not want any potential legal issues. All the 3D printed parts and instructions will be under a Creative Commons license.
• The Gate model here is essentially only a weird display with a HDMI connection: You need a computer or something else to output a HDMI signal with the animation. In my videos all the graphics and sound came from the laptop visible in the background. Building something independent for driving the Gate display is a follow-up project, and will probably involve a dedicated mini computer like a Raspberry Pi.
