Also, I was considering which parts would wear out the fastest (so far) that I might want to replace, and I came up with 3:
1) The battery, which is listed in the BOM.
2) The touchwheel cover, which would probably have to to be manufactured, but the required files are here on Codeberg.
3) The display's screen protector, which isn't listed yet on the BOM. (This is because the screen protector can get quite scratched up on pre-made Tangaras if you don't immediately put it on a soft surface, such as a microfiber cloth, while disassembling at least the faceplate PCB. On the other hand, the display itself seemed fine and doesn't have scratches as far as I could tell.)
I know the document states "[f]ull sources for these will be available once they're finished", but I was wondering if it'd be possible in the future to either have info or have the ability to buy extra Tangara screen protectors - as I got the impression that it's more like a custom part, like the touchwheel cover, rather than an off-the-shelf part, like the battery.
Once it's possible to buy Tangara parts in this manner, then it would be appropriate to make the iFixit guide.
