I seem to arrived late to the game and the kits are no longer for sale. I have not looked at all the parts but I don’t do surface mount soldering or make custom circuit boards. . . so I was wondering if someone had already made a list of through hole components and alternate suppliers for motors, brackets, chains, other than the store maslow storefront.

Check out the BOM file.

Also, @Bee is developing/producing upgraded controller boards that he should have available soon. There’s a line forming for those.

the wiki has a list of all components, most o them are off the shelf, some are custom and will need to be ordered from China which takes 2 to 3 weeks.  
as far as the circuit board goes member Bee is working on getting them made that is the easiest way to get one  
the only hard thing to source is the motors and those I think are still in stock in the store  
idler sprockets, motor sprockets, and motor clamps are on aliexpress

is where the details are for the basic machine and the community garden has pretty much every laser cut file you could ever use.

you have to make your own JST 6 cables too, you can get those connectors off ebay. good luck.

Here’s to hoping that Bar and Hanna get their needed cool down, and then come up with a solution for the kits. I am betting there are others out there in the community that would consider taking on the task of creating kits. In the meantime, keep your eyes open for folks that are selling their kits or machines. There have been several in the last month.

Keep the faith! These machines are too cool, and the community is superb!

Did not understand the question entirely but perhaps @blurfl and @Bee would do.

The TLE board and BOM are in the community Garden here:

I have a forked version of this:

> BSHS - What the Heck is a Blue Smoke Herder? In a discussion with the first person to request a Shield form me. @Dru Mentioned letting the Blue Smoke out of his original Maslow Shield. For anyone unaware it’s a Maker term for the death of an electronic device. Me and my friend Harry altered the design of the TLE5206 shield from @blurfl to include 12v power headers to run fans. I have 5 boards from what I will call V1 that are ready to populate. I ordered 30 more of what I will call V2. …

I’m actively producing the boards - fww

Thank you

Is there a link to buy the boards you are producing?

How does one “line up” for a board when you’ve got them ready to sell?
