Part Suffixes - Orion Pobursky - 2025-10-24
Right now we have 6 different types of part number suffixes:
pXX(X)/pNNNN - Patterns
cXX - Shortcuts
dXX - Sticker Shortcuts
kNN - Flexible sections
-fN - Flexible states
s01 - Subpart
bNN - Sticker box subparts
Note: X = 0-9a-z, N = 0-9
b and s are easy, they're only for subparts.
By my reckoning, the rule is:
p/c in any order followed by optional one of d, k, or -f
Questions:
Is <part number>p01c01 a pattern, shortcut, or both?
What about <part number>c01p01?
If it's one or the other, what is the base part: <part number> or <part number>p/c01?
