The SD Card feature requires the bigger ESP module than the original. So it's not a simple retrofit. It'd likely need a whole new board. Furthermore, I've never seen a SD Card slot that can be soldered by hand. So I'm not sure if that could be provided in kit form in keeping with the pixelpop concept. I think if you want those features, you should probably just buy the actual espixelstick v3 hardware.
