Assembly instructions

Exploded render of the life-size 3D-printed waffle iron with all key parts labeled.

1. Assemble the base:
   Place the base housing onto the base plate and secure it with the four printed screws.
   Tighten them carefully until the housing sits flush on the plate.
    
2. Insert the waffle plates:
   Place the upper waffle plate into the lid housing and the lower waffle plate into the base housing.
   A small amount of super glue will ensure a permanent bond.
   Make sure to align them correctly using the locating notches.
   Check that both plates are properly aligned with each other so the printed waffle will fit perfectly.
    
3. Insert the lid housing into the base housing, aligning both hinge parts at the back.
   Secure the connection from both sides using the two printed hinge pins.
   A small drop of super glue on each pin will ensure a firm and permanent hold.

I am looking forward to your Makes! :-)
