For sourcing the components, you have two options:
You will need to order the parts from a shop, and order some PCBs directly from the manufacturer.
The Elite-C Adapters are open-source. At this moment, the flexible PCBs are not. Instead, you can use Amoebas.
Note: please use Elite-C adapter V1.3
Parts list:
| Part name | Amount | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Amoebas | 42 | |
| Elite-C | 2 | |
| Elite-C adapter PCB V1.4 | 2 | https://github.com/Bastardkb/Elite-C-holder |
| SOD123 Diodes | 42 | |
| FlexStrip cables | 30 | Farnell |
| M4 8mm Torx Screw | 14 | Conrad |

The cases are printed at 0.15 mm layer height using Prusament Galaxy Black on a Prusa MK3s.
I check and post-process each case individually to make sure it matches very high quality standards.
