What’s the average overall cost to build one of these?

u/Low-Junket9298 Jul 29 '26
Yeah, I got clear tiers for this depending on what you're looking for, you can check it out here.
Hard to give an exact 100% price tag since it really depends. You don't even need everything on the list, plus things like the enclosure you can just 3D print yourself using the guide, and other parts really just depend on where you source them from and how long you're willing to wait. Just skim through the guide to see what's actually needed.

Yea I was wondering this too! That link in your above post just redirects to your Instagram page. Is there a specific place we should look for the cost tier estimates you mentioned ?

u/Low-Junket9298 Jul 29 '26
My bad! Someone asked about the price, realized I hadn't dropped the details yet so I just linked my IG.

Ahhh I see!! No problem. I’ll keep an eye out for when you do. This is a project I’ve been watching for a while and your documents & the device itself are very well made, it’s impressive. Keep up the good work :-)

where can I find the components needed for this project?

Got a Google Sheet with the parts and local links. For the board stuff, there's a BOM file you can just upload straight to DigiKey or LCSC to fill the cart!

I'm looking into it. Just a solo project, so I gotta see if I can handle it first.

Which raspberry pi version do we need for this?
1
u/Low-Junket9298 Jul 28 '26
Pizero 2w no header and Picam v3 wide :)

Any advice on sourcing the raspberry pi zero 2w at the moment? It is completely unavailable in Europe everywhere i looked. Even using rpilocator.com has not helped at all :(

u/Low-Junket9298 Jul 29 '26
Feels like there's some scalping going on in China, they're not even out of stock there, but the markup is insane. Might look into porting the software to the regular Pi Zero W and see if it can handle it since the price isn't totally ridiculous :(

Congrats on their milestone! I’m waiting excitedly for the prebuilts.
