Is there any information about how to assemble the wooden laser cut stand? I’m not clear whether I should be breaking anything out from the main sheet?

If i am reading the schematic correctly, it looks like the default is 10k (100mA) as SJ2 is connected by default? If I cut the trace between the pads then it would be 200mA because the least resistance would be 5.1k? Is this correct?

I don't think the circuit is working as intended . Believe the drain and source are swapped causing this fet just to act like a diode.

Just got my Newt, and the display behaves wierdly. It looks great when looking straight on at it, but once you go a little off-axis the white parts go quite dark. It seems like it reflects light in a specular manner so the light source has to be at the equal opposite angle to the viewing angle. Quite different to an E-ink display. Is this normal?

Source and drain on Q1 is wrong. In this config you are just using the fet as a diode. If you flip it, then then fet turns on, then vcc is low.
