Build Your Crimpdeq

This chapter presents the two Crimpdeq models you can build.

Choose the one that matches your tools, budget, and how much assembly work you want to do.

Crimpdeq V1

This model uses a custom PCB and a custom 3D-printed case.

It is the cleanest and easiest version to assemble, and the final result is more compact and polished. See the PCB details and 3D case details for design details.

Follow the Crimpdeq V1 Assembly guide to build this model.

Prototype

This model reuses a crane scale case and combines off-the-shelf modules (ESP32-C3 Rust Board + HX711).

It requires more soldering and manual assembly, but it can be cheaper because it does not require manufacturing a custom PCB or 3D-printed case.

Follow the Prototype Assembly guide to build this model.
