3D filaments
If you want print nanosaur, you should buy these spool. I suggest the Ninjatek TPU if you use a bowden 3D printer. Otherwise you can use other type of TPU.

Expansion board
First step, you need the nanosaur-expansion-board PCB
To obtain one and support this project follow these steps:
- Register to PCBWay using my refferer link
- Upon you registered, go to the nanosaur
- Click on “Add to Cart” button on the right
- A pop-up will show up: all default settings are good. You must only select how many PCBs you want: the minimum quantity, by default, is 5. The first order of 5 PCBs is free on PCBWay: you must pay only the shipping costs
The BoM below is to assembly the nanosaur-expansion-board:
