Overview of parts and approx. costs

Overview.jpg


Membrane pump (~$160) - (TBD – cheaper solution will be available soon)

Stabilized membrane pump


3D Printed Parts

A: Upper Case (3D Printed)

B: Lower Case(3D Printed)

C: Intake manifold(3D Printed)

D: LED/Sensor holder(3D Printed)

E: LED/Sensor holder(3D Printed)



Print on any 3d printer or send to any service provider. Use black filament / resin. If possible, use flex filament or mix resin with flex resin. 200g Resin / FDM ~ $5-$10
- 3D printing service is more expansive (~$100)

Components to be soldered on the PCB

See Bill of material for links to buy the following:

G: Components from mouser.com or anywhere else (~60)

Filter paper

H: Filter papers – Type TBD, tested with Pall T60A20 – ask local labs for availability
This is crucial, tell us what type you use, send us a sample and we find the correction factor to use. Refer to Correction factors for different filter papers

Basically any filter works, the device just has to be calibrated against it.

  • 22-30 AWG Wire to connect the sensor and LED to PCB
  • Hot Glue - use to seal air leaks around sensor brackets ~$7
  • Rubber band (SHORE A) for sealing intake ~$11
  • Silicone hose 5mm inner diameter ~$5
  • M3 Screws ~$3
  • M3 threads ~$7
