List of materials & tools that we need. These items may become unavailable in the future.

(Note: I did not buy the the same Multi-Tool Wire Stripper, Soldering Tip Cleaner, knob Set (2nd link), and Plug Header Pin listed below. I did choose them according to the descriptions, reviews, and ratings. Please let me know in the comments if anything you ordered didn’t work out and I’m sorry in advance if it does happen. They should work but I just wanted to let you know.)
