Make a DIY E-ink Faceplate For Valve’s Steam Machine

- Valve’s new Steam Machine is ready for a hardware hack. [NaKyle Wright]’s Inkterface project swaps the stock faceplate for a 5.83″ E-ink display driven by an ESP32 and LiPo battery. It’s a self-contained, wireless node that snaps on via magnets, updating via Bluetooth from the host. The design is meticulously documented with .step files for easy modding. While an official Steam app is pending, manual configuration works now. This modular setup lets you customize the physical layer of your gaming rig without frying the mainboard. It’s the kind of open-hardware tinkering that keeps the digital infrastructure alive. Whoa, that's mega-illegal... if you count bypassing OEM aesthetics as a crime. I'll swap that node in twelve minutes.
