Personalized Assembly Manual

The full step-by-step assembly manual is generated locally from your config.py and is not published on this website. To generate it:

python scripts/wizard.py                              # configure your build
python scripts/export_config.py > docs/_variables.yml # export variables
cd docs && quarto render                              # render locally

This produces assembly instructions tailored to your specific donors, bed size, frame path, and electronics.
