1Assembly Instructions
Retrieve parts from the cut DXF file on 3mm acrylic
Paint each tray, vertical wall, roof vertical wall, and roof/base walls with the correlating color from the rainbow and let dry
Cut two pieces of approximately 400mm of polypropylene rope - if you cut the rope piece intended for the front slightly shorter, it will cause the product to tilt slightly back, thus further protecting the Petri dishes.
Insert the rope into the intended holes on the side wall pieces. Correlate front holes to one piece of rope and back holes to the second piece of rope.
Tie a Mathew Walker knot on each end of rope inserted into the holes.
Splice the ends of the rope/ the knots
For every step that involves connecting two parts, make sure to use acrylic cement glue on all surface areas that make contact
Lay the back wall flat to begin assembly
Attach the roof vertical wall first, connecting it to the back wall
Attach a tray
Attach a vertical wall
Repeat steps 10-11 four more times so that all the trays and center walls are attached and glued.
Attach the side walls by sliding it into the back wall, some finessing may be required to line these parts up with the end joints of the trays
Attach the base wall once again applying a bit of finesse to make the connections fall into place
Attach the roof wall in the same manner, completing the exterior structure
Glue the three longer slider pieces of the sliding door pocket to the roof of the structure in the designated cutouts
Glue the three default slider pieces of the sliding door pocket to the base of the structure in the other correlating cutouts.
Attach magnets to the sliding door on each of the 4 corners of a single piece
Complete step 18 for the second sliding door part
Attach magnets to the inside of the side walls on the top half, in line with where the sliding door magnet will rest.
Insert the sliding doors into the pockets created.
Finish painting the exterior of the product with the correlating colors, the side walls and back walls will be multicolored to align with each tray level
Glue the 3D printed figures to the roof of the product
Retrieve the 12 Petri dishes and label them with the correct descriptor (site and size) and a correlating color to a tray level in the product
Place the Petri dishes in the designated spots and the product is finished
