The published Bit dimensions are rounded inch specifications, converted to millimeters. Vestaboard does not publish the internal mechanism, flap outline or tolerances here. Our spacing and internal mechanics are independent design choices. Sources: Bit and lettering dimensions · Note case dimensions.

Times will come from the saved P2S PETG slices. Painting, assembly, plate changes and reprints are additional.
Enough motors and magnets for the three-character test. The larger drum is designed around the nominal unbent motor ears. Check the actual delivered motors against the modeled allowance before assembly.
Still needed for a working prototype
Controller, expander, level shifter, three Hall sensors, regulated 5 V power, protected wiring, fasteners and lettering paint are not confirmed purchased.
