How to 3D Print / Laser cut an ESP32 WiFi connected Weather Forecasting Theatre with E-ink Display.

Meet WeatherBot, my WiFi connected weather forecasting machine. WeatherBot retrieves a local forecast from OpenWeatherMaps and then shows you tomorrows weather with a motorised mini diorama. The additional e-ink display provides a more precise insight into today and tomorrows weather patterns. I’ll show you step by step how to make your own.
