INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Print all pieces. Careful when removing the snap clips.
2. Gently remove supports by applying horizontal pressure just where the support meets the part. If you experience resistance, use a sharp knife to carefully separate the join.
3. Apply careful rotating force to release the wheels. Wheel will continue to loosen with use.
4. Use snap clips to connect the two bottom halves (right and left) together. Insert the clips firmly until a snap can be heard.
5. Finally, connect the bottom half to the top with the remaining clips.
6. (Optional) Use a light application of epoxy with 5x3mm round neodymian magnets. Be sure to orient the magnets correctly before affixing. (ie. make sure the magnets are flipped the correct direction to attract and not repel other toys).
