Terms of Use

Last updated August 15, 2026

thread-runner.com documents a personal, in-progress hardware and software build. It is not a product, and nothing on this site is offered for sale.

Informational content only

Design notes, architecture decisions, bills of materials, and code referenced from this site describe one specific build. They're shared as documentation of that process, not as instructions certified safe for any other machine, part, or configuration.

No warranty

Everything here is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied — including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or completeness. Specifications and plans may change without notice as the build progresses.

Safety

The build described here involves powered motors, moving machinery, and electrical wiring. If you reference this material for your own project, you're responsible for your own safety practices, applicable codes, and sound judgment. Nothing on this site substitutes for qualified electrical or mechanical expertise.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site's author is not liable for any damages — direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential — arising from use of, or reliance on, information published here.

Third-party content

Links to GitHub, part manufacturers, and other third-party sites are provided for reference. Their content and terms are their own.

Intellectual property

Site content and design documentation are © Jeff Patterson unless otherwise noted. Source code in the linked GitHub repository is governed by that repository's license.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the project or this site changes. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
