Because the Ekdahl FAR is electro-mechanical, things will eventually break or get worn out. An effort has been made to find a middle ground in between durability, component availability and cost and standard parts have been used as much as possible inside the instrument. All 3D printed parts can be downloaded and printed using a regular SLA printer. Most hardware can easily be bought online and any specialty components can be gotten from Knas. {{docnav
