Notes

Official README, parts list, 3D_files and KiCad directories, and GPL-3.0 license checked at source commit fd58dcec12ee25b83f728a1b42a96d0c5257d77a on 2026-10-26. The repository currently publishes STEP assemblies and ZIP archives rather than directly print-ready STL/3MF files, so no model is indexed. Kept as draft because the source uses shortened marketplace links and leaves the exact power bank, speakers, amplifier, hinges, cable set and several hardware dimensions unspecified.

A weekly email of new build manifests and parts deals is coming soon.
