RileyBest place to buy Raspberry Pi components?
Very new, day two, into the world of Raspberry Pi and Python.
I’m looking for a good place to pick up some parts to build a small item counter. Power supply, cables, display. It’s probably ambitious but I have help. I’ll be using Python 3.7 on a Win 10 machine.
My two thoughts are counting as the part goes through a tube or a weight based count. The weight may not be accurate enough, but maybe.

ryan81986When I built my Raspberry Pi w/ a touch screen I got the parts between Microcenter and Amazon. I bought all of the RPi parts from Microcenter and then bought the aftermarket enclosure from Amazon.
Here is a video showing the same enclosure being built:
