Valve open source the Steam Machine e-ink screen so you can make your own

While Valve will not be making and providing their own e-ink display for the Steam Machine, they have opened it up so anyone can now do it.

A foundry for what? To 3d print the parts?

You can 3D print the screens and chips?

No, you can buy them. They didn't design any screens and chips, they just bought parts and assembled them. And now they told you what parts to buy and how to assemble them.

They're off-the-shelf parts. That's normal for open-source hardware
