Order (links for convenience, parts are off-the-shelf / available in any regular workshop)<br>
 
F: PCB from pcbway.com, jlcpcb.com  or anywhere else (~$20) – find gerber files on github repository or bcmeter.org<br>
 
G: Components from mouser.com or anywhere else  (~$40) – shopping cart to import on mouser on github repository or bcmeter.org<br>
 
H: Order filter papers (~$50) – Pack of 50 sufficient for at least 1000 samples. Type TBD, tested with T60A20 – ask local labs for availability<br>
 
I: Additional material:<br>
 
* Hot Glue ~$7
* Rubber band (SHORE A) for sealing ~$11
* M3 Screws ~$3
* M3 threads ~$7
* microSD Card (4gb+)
40 Pin Header (optional for plug the Hat)
J: Order membrane pump (~$160) - here (TBD – cheaper solution may be available soon)
 
STL for 3D Printing (SLA or FDM) attached. 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<br>
 
 
Assembly Instructions<br>
 
Current version is designed for absolute simplicity so as little as possible SMD components and parts with large footprints are used. Start assembling by soldering the smalles parts first (MMBT3904 + MCP3426). Then add THT passive parts piece by piece according to description on the PCB and the BOM.
 
 
# Place IRL81A (IR Emitter) and LPT80A (Sensor) in adapters D and E, seal with hot glue and solder wires to the corresponding vias on the PCB. Long leg is anode (positive). [[File:Sensor-emitter-brackets.jpg|thumb|left]]<br clear=all>
# Place adapters D and E in the case A and B. Emitter to top case. Seal with (hot) glue or tape. [[File:Brackets-in-lower-case.jpg|thumb|left]]<br clear=all>
# Put pump in place and do a test run for leakage. [[File:Pump.jpg|thumb|left]]<br clear=all>
