Important Notes

• This is a DIY kit and you need to solder some parts by yourself. Make sure you have gone through the build guide before you buy it.
• This kit does not include a 3D printed case. Customers will need to purchase a separately sold case or order one themselves based on the open-sourced data.
• 3D printed parts may have dimension tolerance which makes assembly a little tight or loose.
• There might be minute scratches or chips on the 3D printed parts which do not affect actual usage.
• 3D printed parts (clear) are made of clear resin as raw material. Resin may yellow under ultraviolet light, so please avoid exposing it to direct or natural sunlight for long periods of time.
• This product is designed for 25mm balls; it may not work properly when used with balls other than those specified, such as 25.4mm balls.
• 25mm balls are not suitable for precise movement compared to 34mm or larger balls.
