DIY PROJECT KIT
Start the tubing-cutter build with matched hardware
This physical kit groups the electrical and mechanical parts referenced by the PlantMate automatic tubing measurement and cutter tutorial. The project still requires careful assembly, wiring, testing and safe guarding.

KEY DETAILS
What this item is designed to do
Control the cut
The cutting mechanism is servo- or motor-driven depending on the documented kit revision and printed parts.
Build from the guide
Use the project article, current hardware-list PDF and matching 3D files together rather than relying on an older parts list.
