1General Build Instructions
Warning, this project involves working with potentially lethal high voltage wiring, know what you are doing.

2Selecting a suitable oven
I went with a cheap toaster oven with quartz tubes on the top and bottom.
Heater rated power
1000W was sufficient due to the small volume of the oven.
Front panel
You may select an oven with similar front panel to avoid having to cut anything. The software is optimised for a round display.
Automatic door mechanism
If you would like the automatic door mechanism, whether it can be easily done will vary between ovens. For my type of oven, the door is connected to the internal part of oven. Hence, it was easily to integrate without resorting to external mechanisms; outside of the oven's body.

3Purchasing other parts
PCB
Purchase the display pcb extension and receiver set if you're intending to use a similar display setup as mine.
Components
Purchase the components according to the bill of materials (Incomplete)

43D Printing
I printed 2 parts:
A mount for the display to be glued (not optimised for the curvature of the oven)
A mount for the rotary encoder

7Tune PID parameters
The optimal parameters greatly depend on your oven and location of the temperature sensor.
