How to build the SS2K

-For Building Rev 3 (the newest) check out BUILDING REV3.

-The videos in this Wiki are for the version 1.0. But there's good news! Version 2.0 isn't much different (to build). For the 2.0 build changes, follow all of the wiring, PCB and shifter builds below and then go to the version 2.0 changes page_

Check out the link to obtain a PCB from PCBWay and follow the instructions from Anthony in this video.

The PCB makes the build much simpler, either way you’re going to want a set of DuPont crimpers with a set of connectors, plenty of low voltage wiring, flux, solder, a soldering iron, and all of the 3D printed parts. A hot glue gun is helpful for a few strengthening sections.

Here is a video detailing how to build the wiring harness for the internal shifter cable.
