+- 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

+This may require a bit of force. The electronics assembly is fairly strong, but don't impart unnecessary force onto the assembly.
+
+## Step 10: Remove support material from 3D-printed parts
+The following 3D-printed parts have support material on them:
+
+ - Top
+ - Base (look in the holes meant for the screws)
+ - Primary buttons
+ - Secondary buttons
+ - Scroll wheel holder holder
+
+"Support material" is more hollow than the structural plastic. You'll have to remove it before you continue with the assembly.
+
+Most of the time, it can be removed using nothing but your fingers. If you find a bit of support material is sticking, use a pair of pliers or tweezers to scrape it off. Be careful not to damage the parts as you remove the support material, *especially on the scroll wheel holder holder*.

If there is resistance, take a screwdriver and hollow out a bit of material from the scroll wheel holder until there is no resistance. Be careful, though: if the fit is too lose, the scroll wheel will jostle during regular use.

-You might need to use a bit of force to get the two halves together.
+To put the Top on:
+- Align the USB-B connector with the Top.
+- Put your thumb on the primary buttons and your index and middle finger on the secondary buttons, and depress the buttons gently. (They should click.)
+- Pull the Top (it will bend slightly) until the peg from the scroll wheel enters its sheath in the Top.
+- Press the Top into the Base with gentle but firm pressure until the two are seated together entirely.
 
-## Step 16: Insert the screws into the base and apply the friction pads
+To remove:
+- Put your thumb on the primary buttons and your index and middle finger on the secondary buttons, and depress the buttons gently. (They should click.)
+- Lift the rear end of the Top until the scroll wheel peg slips out of its sheath in the Top.
+- Pull the Top off.

+See the video for an example of how to accomplish this.

 Depending on slight size variations, you might need to push the ball in with some force, but it shouldn't require a large amount of force.
 
-## Step 18: Verify that the Ploopy Trackball is working correctly
+## Step 31: Verify that the Ploopy Trackball is working correctly
 Plug the trackball into your computer. The buttons should be clicking, and if you move the ball, it should move the cursor.
 
-## Step 19: All done!
+If the buttons are stuck, take the top off and adjust the primary and secondary buttons by rotating them slightly in their bases and trying again.
+
+## Step 32: All done!
 Congrats, you finished building the Ploopy Trackball!
 
 It's done! Love it, use it, but don't you dare abuse it!
