How to 3D Print and/or 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.
