I have already entertained thoughts of DIY Passport. After studying their docs I have understood that the most challenging for me part of such DIY project would be the making of multilayer printed circuit board rather than 3d printing. For me, it would be hard, even impossible, to make at home.
You should be able to just upload the Gerber files to a PCB manufacturer like PCBWay and get them to assemble the board for you, as well. Then print the housing, add keypad, camera and screen and put it all together.I do think it's worth it to just buy the completed product from Foundation though.
It would cost, in my estimation more then half of the current price for Passport 2.Thus, after pondering on pros and cons ( time, money and nerves spent to do something wrong) for DIY Passport project I have took the red pill and bought the off-the-peg product.
My only regret is that I have bought it right two weeks before they reduced the price.
Please be sure to submit this form if you bought it just before the price decrease, we understand that it could have been frustrating and we've shared this broadly as a part of the price reduction:

That is good for any purchase in the 90d leading up to the price reduction.
It appears to be not applicable to my case as I have bought Passport 2 from distributor in a semi anonymous way during my business trip within EU. $50 is not a money which would force me to fill the form that requires some purchasing data (though restricted ones). Anyway, thanks for your generosity and nice hardware wallet. I'm fully satisfied with my Passport 2.
