Getting Started

Watch the video

The DIY video should give you a fairly good idea about what to expect, and what it takes to get started.

Get the PCB and components

There are various places from where you can order the PCB and electronic components. Different manufacturers offer different services, available components, and prices, etc. Check how we get our PCBs and how to solder the components.

Check Components for different sourcing options, or check #diy-share-parts on Discord since people in your region might be interested in sharing order and shipping costs.

Get 3D-printed parts

Check 3D-print case and buttons.

If you don't have a 3D printer yourself, you might want to check what is available in your vicinity. Would you be able to 3D-print in your local library? Are there professional shops nearby that offer a 3D-printing service?

Check Components for different sourcing options, or join #diy-share-parts on Discord since people in your region might be willing to print for you.

Assembly

Check how to assemble the Alpakka, or watch the DIY video section about assembly.
