# Sourcing Tools & Materials

{% hint style="info" %}
The sources listed here are not the only places where these items can be obtained.\
I have also sourced items locally, but such options are often harder to access for hobbyists and may be limited by region.

The listed sources were chosen because they are **affordable**, **commonly available to hobbyists**, and **reasonably accessible internationally**.

Where possible, I aimed for a balance between **price, quality and accessibility**, rather than listing only the cheapest or the most premium options.

\
If the listed sources don’t work for you, have a look at the **individual pages for the items themselves**.\
Where possible, I included **search terms** and **key features** to help you find equivalent items from other suppliers.

### Coupon Codes

{% hint style="info" %}
Wherever possible, I will try to provide coupon codes linked to affiliate links, so the documentation itself can be supported and continue to grow, while users also receive direct financial benefits.
