I've been playing around with one of these E-Paper displays. I've got the LILYGO 2.7" ePaper Plus Module. Thanks to pcbway.com for sponsoring this video, PCBWay offer PCB Production, CNC and 3D Printing, PCB Assembly and much much more. You can find their details here: PCBWay.com/?from=atomic
The classic thing that people seem to do is get a weather display up and running - so I thought I would do the same.
There's a really nice library on GitHub by G6EJD that everyone seems is using. This already has support for a whole bunch of ePaper displays including the Waveshare 2.7 inch display which is the one that is used on the LILYGO board I have.

Most of the instructions are around using the Arduino IDE but as regular viewers will know I'm much happier using PlatformIO, so we'll get it up and running there.
You can find my repo here: github.com/atomic14/ESP32-E-Paper-Weather
And the demo code from LILYGO here: github.com/LilyGO/TTGO-T5S-Epaper
You can order the module I'm using here: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AZRYxj
And one of the viewers has pointed out you can get the Ruthex brass inserts here: amzn.to/35LCPSq
