You’ll need to purchase the following components to build the main structural components of the system. Each item has a suggested link, but any parts that meet the specifications will work.

Note that some sample links are for a multi-pack of a material. The quantity listed in the table does not take this into account. For example, if the link is for a 4-pack of an item and the “quantity” listed is 3, you only need to purchase one pack.
