  1. 1 x 3D printed case
  2. 1 x 3D printed base
  3. 1 x Driver board
  4. 1 x Boost converter
  5. 2 x M3 nuts
  6. 2 x M3 screws 12-16 mm length
  7. 2 x Self tapping screws

2. Order the materials from the bill of materials including driver boards manufacturing and assembly on JLCPCB

3. Open the back cover of the display (Careful when opening the back cover, there is a small joistick connector between the back cover and the front that keep both together!!)
