      Instructions:

      1. Choose a model to use with your kit:
        • Browse the 3D models above
        • Use associated link to download the ZIP file
        • ZIP files contain STL ready to print and STP files for easy customization
      2. Print your chosen model:
        • Print the STL models or customize the included STP files (recommend Fusion 360)
      3. Assemble your Electronics Kit:
        • Solder components to the PCB (image coming soon!)
          • Note:  Add a dab of SOLDER to the battery pad to ensure a tight connection
          • LED polarity is important and must be installed with flat side (negative) per the image on PCB
      4. Finally, assemble the electronics and printed enclosure. 
        • Use soldering iron to carefully sink inserts flush with inner handle surface.
        • Super Glue wand tips together, glue handle to handle support, then glue tip to handle, using RUBBER Bands to hold sides together
        • Note: Don’t let glue get into hole between wand handle and wand tip.
        • Carefully slide magnet wire through inside of wand. LED legs should be cut short and isolated from each other with tape after soldered.
      5. Try different prints or design your own!
        • If you design your own, be sure to share it with the community in our Thingiverse group!
