Oh I thought dpreview had shut down but it seems after the announcement they took it back and then there seems to be acquired by Gear Patrol.

His repository is https://gitlab.com/zephray/sitina1 . The hardware list seems somewhat incomplete, e.g., missing the metal ring and connector for the lens mount and pcbs.

I guess this is more of a specifications hardware list than a complete list of parts that you need to build it.

The comment that captured my attention: SafariBob Meh... This is so easy to do. Anyone with moderate lego skills can put this together in an afternoon. HN reader found in the wild?

Potentially allowing you to choose which mount? Then again, the model might need adjustment to allow the proper distance for the selected mount type.

(Almost?) all mounts have their own focal distance from the backplane. I don't know of any two that share the same distance.
