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

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)

F: bcMeter 12V or 5V - (find gerber files for PCB fabrication on bcmeter.org) ~$25

bcMeter general purpose PCB for 12V and large pumps bcMeter general purpose PCB for 12V and large pumps

bcMeter SMD PCB for 5V and smaller pumps bcMeter SMD PCB for 5V and smaller pumps

G: Components from mouser.com or anywhere else (~60) – mouser shopping cart or bill of material

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

I: Additional material:

  • 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

(Screws and threads not required for basic operation)

  • microSD Card (4gb+)~$8
  • 40 Pin Header (optional for plug the Hat)
