We build the electronics. You print the rest.
Solderless electronics kits for 3D printing
Start with a real, working FM radio: an assembled board, plug-in parts, your printer and an afternoon.
Electronics you can design around
Printing a great looking case is the fun part. Getting working electronics inside it shouldn't be the hard part.
No soldering
The board arrives fully assembled, and every part connects with a JST plug. If you can plug in a phone charger, you can wire up a kit.
Made to fit your design
Board dimensions, mounting holes, connector positions and a STEP model are all published, so you can model an enclosure around the electronics with confidence.
Open documentation
Schematics, bills of materials, CAD files and build guides are free on our docs site. Use our designs directly or take them apart for ideas.
How a kit comes together
-
Pick a kit
Start with the electronics for the thing you want to make.
-
Print an enclosure
Print one of our project designs, or model your own around the published dimensions.
-
Plug it together
Connect the parts, fit them in your case, add batteries and switch it on. No iron required.
Start with the FM Radio Kit
Our first kit is a battery powered FM radio with built in volume and tuning controls. Plug in the speaker, antenna, power switch, LED and battery holder, then fit it all into a case you printed.
Want a design to start from? The Tall Boy, pictured, is a retro inspired tabletop radio with a step by step build guide.
Who it's for
Makers who design their own models
Treat a kit like a part in your CAD library. Model a retro cabinet, a portable radio or something nobody has thought of yet, and drop the electronics in.
Board dimensions and CADSellers who print in batches
Selling at craft fairs or Christmas markets? Order kits in quantity and turn your prints into finished products people can take home and switch on.
Bulk ordersClassrooms and first time builders
A complete radio with no soldering makes a friendly first electronics project for students, STEM programs and anyone curious about how things work.
