I keep starting and stopping. I printed all the parts but it was for V2 so I have to print V3. I ordered boards but it's been so long I don't know if they've been revised again. Are the V3 printed parts available for purchase anywhere? My club 3D printer is a bit of a hike for me.
Thanks, Frank kb1qzh

Great information here!
Using angle stock certainly would be cheaper, but not everyone has the equipment to cut to length, drill/tap holes, etc... I do not have those tools, nor access to a maker space that does, which is why I ended up getting a openbeam "starter set" to build/experiment my man portable IC7100 setup. I like what I see in the openbuildspartstore!

FYI to anybody who is unaware, wood cutting brazed carbide circular saw blades (mounted in el-cheapo miter saws, circular saws, or table saws)

cut aluminum wonderfully. Wear a face shield, as hot chips fly everywhere.
The places like 8020, Misumi, and some Open Builds resealers will cut the material to size for a small fee per cut. I do not have a cutoff saw and my hack saw skills would not make the nice square cuts. Mike Hoblinski N6IMF
