Description
Printing & Assembly:-Print Makey's body (low infill works best for keeping overall weight down - we recommend 5-15%)Note: Our main design printed okay, but the jaw action wasn't very smooth due to support material issues in our slicer - please use minimal support material settings for your printer (dependent upon its overhang & bridging abilities) or use dissolvable support material if possible.-Print the jaw ("cracker" in the Documents section)-Clean out any support material left inside the jaw opening on the body-Slide the jaw into the opening & snap into place in the hinge holes (with the smaller end coming out of the back of the bot)Optional Electronics & Hangable Hat:-Print the hat in any color you would like, & glue to the top of Makey's head (this will allow you to hang him from a tree with a hook in the loop of the hat!)-Obtain and assemble a LED grid kit (from Maker Shed)Note: Assembly instructions can be found at [http://www.wayneandlayne.com/projects/blinky/build/th/], a guide for first time solderers at [http://mightyohm.com/files/soldercomic/FullSolderComic_EN.pdf], and an easy programming utility at [http://www.wayneandlayne.com/blinky_programmer/].-Now glue the battery pack to Makey's feet & the circuit board to the desirable height in Makey's hands (Feel free to scale the entire project & integrate your own electronics as well!)That's It!
