My first protogen partial help and questions

image unrelated

So I'm thinking of getting a custom partial suit, i am in europe, specifically the balkans

1. I've been looking at "Arget & Lazuli" but if you have any reviews about them, or other recommendations for protogen makers in the EU i would appreciate it

2. A friend of mine who is an engineering and computer science student said he'd like to try and make me my first one.

Keep in mind he is a caffeine fueled mess who has never tried this before but is filled with determination, and wants to try while he's also attempts making his own, non-proto suit

(his argument is that it would be way cheaper and "trust me bro")

Should i let him try

3. One of his ideas is using LCD instead of LED which ive heard mixed receptions about and I'd like to hear your thoughts
