Sure happy to do it. Anyone want to pitch in so I can get a big screen to model from?

I am not new to modding all kinds of stuff and also have the knowledge and tools required for 3D printing.
I am currently looking into do the screen swap mod.
I'll try it using those two components (i have more than enought spare wire for the pin bridging so no need to buy that).
Screen: (30 Euro with 12 day shipping)

The configuration I'll try will be:
30cm, 20p, type B
I´ll probably oreder today and keep you up to date. I am currently writing my bachelor thesis so it might take some time for me to get to assemble it. I would guess mid Feb.
About the bigger screen:
I do have a 3d modeling tool and printer but am actually not to keen un buying the bigger screen and jjosxl
I am currently living in Germany so if someone around would be up for an exeriment.(basically if someone would want to mod there MPC and provide me with the screen and parts so i could design and test it and send the finish produc back) I might conisder trying that.
