When I started assembling V1, one of the biggest challenges was sourcing the parts. Ordering from China meant buying larger quantities than I needed, hunting for reliable suppliers — who change more often than you'd think — and learning the hard way that quality, packaging, and shipping change constantly — and not allways for the better.
It took time to understand the landscape. I'm offering you the shortcut.
The kits below are priced fairly — they reflect the real cost of sourcing, testing, and getting the right parts to you without the uncertainty. Your time and focus belong on the build, not the supply chain.
Prefer to source everything yourself? Supplier links are on the BOM page. Just make sure to read how I manage version updates — it's simple, and it matters.
Every part carries our unique part number — listed at the end of each branch in the product tree. Yellow branches are purchased parts. Blue branches are 3D printed parts. The same P/N appears in the BOM, where you'll find the part description, quantity, price, and supplier link all in one row. Find a part on the tree, locate it instantly in the BOM, and follow the supplier link directly to the source.
Each kit includes components for all three reticle colors and all three eyepiece ring colors. The full Chameleon experience from day one.
The only difference between Kit 1.0 and Kit 2.0 is the lens. We source and test every lens carefully — and reject a significant percentage that don't meet our standards. That quality control is reflected in the price.
Prefer to source the lens yourself? Kit 2.0 gives you that option — buy directly from the manufacturer and choose the magnification that suits your shooting style.
