Separately, there's a notion of purchases large enough you have to plan for them. $523 is a few weeks of pay for some people even in the US. The headline is set up to suggest a low-cost (because it's DIY) relative to the status quo of devices an average student couldn't really buy to tinker with. The result is more expensive than an off-the-shelf thermal camera I bought awhile ago without substantially better features (other than tinkerability).
