If you don't the capability to print the 3D-printed parts, then it's no big deal. **We sell them**, but we also have information on how to print them out yourself, if you've got access to a 3D printer. See [[Appendix B: 3D-printed parts]] for information.

## Step 3: Prepare the electronics assembly jig

The jig will be used to hold the PCBs together at precisely the correct angle during the soldering process.

- Make sure that the PCBs are seated fully and completely against the PCB anchor.

## Step 6: Insert the PCBs into the electronics assembly jig
|

|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that the electronics assembly is seated fully in the assembly jig. **This step is crucial; misalignment during this stage will virtually guarantee that the buttons will not function.**

## Step 7: Solder the pads of the base PCB and vertical PCB

|

## Step 6: Solder pads from the two PCBs together
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- Set the soldering iron's temperature to *much* higher than normal, as the pads are large and shed heat quickly, and cold solder joints here will result in poor electrical connections
|
||||
- Apply the right amount of solder to ensure a good connection and good mechanical strength, but not too much that it makes it easy to form cold joints

## Step 8: Remove the completed electronics assembly from the assembly jig

|

This may require a bit of force. The electronics assembly is fairly strong, but don't impart unnecessary force onto the assembly.
