<br>''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> - 3D printing service is more expansive (~$100)''<br>

bcMeter general purpose PCB for 12V, less accurate but more easy to assemble (THT)
 
== 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<br> This is crucial, tell us what type you use, send us a sample and we find the correction factor to use. [[Filter_paper_correction_factor|Refer to Correction factors for different filter papers]]
 
Basically any filter works, the device just has to be calibrated against it.
 
== Additional material / Tools==
I: Additional material:<br>
See [[Bill of material]] for links to buy the following:
 
* 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
* microSD Card (4gb+)~$8 <br>
