Self-source path

DIY Kit buyers receive these parts from the manufacturer and do not perform this work.

Fabrication Codes

CAD filenames include a letter identifying the intended process and material family.

Code	Required process or source
`A`	CNC-machined Aluminum 7075 where specified
`B`	SLM metal printing in 316L stainless steel
`C`	SLS or MJF polymer printing in PA12 nylon
`X`	Off-the-shelf component purchased directly

For every manufactured part:

Confirm the complete part number and revision.

Confirm material, manufacturing process, and required finish.

Inspect for cracks, warping, dents, incomplete features, and surface damage.

Check holes, slots, cable passages, bearing seats, insert locations, and mating surfaces.

Compare left- and right-side parts.

Record the inspection result and quarantine rejected or questionable parts.
