Completely new to the CNC field. Am I missing anything?
Necessity Parts List as of now:
LowRider v3 Printed Parts
LR3 Tool mount
control board/LCD box
LowRider v3 hardware kit
-SKE Pro 1.2, 5x 2209 drivers, TFT35 E3 V3- flashed
-Carbide single flute
-Makita 1/8” collet
For clarification, the tubing is not included in any of the parts kits, correct?

Correct. You also need to cut the strut plates yourself after assembling the Lowrider and you need to buy the LowRider CNC V3 YZ plates – V1 Engineering Inc if you don’t have a CNC or a large printer (if you have a large printer you can always mill them later). Getting the tiny touchplate and Loctite (if you don’t have it) is also a good idea.

@Tokoloshe I do not have a printer or CNC, are the strut plates the same as the YZ plates or are they 3 separate plates?

Hello @Newguy , welcome!
Struts plates are different from YZ plates. There’s also XZ plates too.
Digging through some of the LR3 Build topics created by community members really helped me figure out this stuff when getting started.
Shared my build journey (includes parts I ordered from V1E, metal tube options and a build video) @ Purple-black-rainbow LR3 🤷♂️ , build video @ https://youtu.be/FJ7nYio8oOE
Hope that helps. Look forward to seeing your build journey topic. Cheers!
