E-Paper Clock Kickstarter


I really like the e-paper clock that I built, so I decided to start a Kickstarter campaign to see if there is sufficient interest to build more. Here is the pre-launch page: click on the "Notify me on launch" button to follow along.

E-Paper Clock

Update (Nov 11, 2025): I am making this into a Kickstarter project

As a follow-up to my Kindle clock project, I have built an e-paper clock:

The display looks great and the time always keeps perfectly in sync via WiFi. It uses a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. I designed and 3D printed a case:

Components + costs:

Total cost: $151.7

The display does a fast "partial update" every minute (with some faint ghosting) and a full screen refresh every hour.
