This premium build 3DP parts were sourced in partnership with PCBWay :

  • High-quality SLS and resin 3D printed parts

  • PCB manufacturing and assembly

If you don’t have access to:

  • High-end 3D printers

  • Soldering equipment for SMD components

Services like this allow you to still build a professional-quality wheel. PCBWay offered the 3DP parts for free. This was not a paid sponsorship.
