Instructions
1. Shorten each of the pine strips (2) to 170mm length with the
jigsaw or scroll saw as shown. Keep the remaining pieces for
further work stages!
2. Mark the drill holes (ø 4mm/
ø 5mm) and the recess for the
switch (12x6mm) on the base (1).
Drill the holes with the ø 4mm and
ø 5mm drills. Cut out the recess
from the base with a jigsaw. Glue
the four strips (2a) to the base
(1) as shown. Let the glue dry
thoroughly

5. Transfer the side panels for the reector construction
from the template (page 7) onto the plywood (3). Cut
both pieces out with a jigsaw or scroll saw. Tidy up
the saw cuts with sandpaper. Fixate both parts above
each other with tape as shown, and drill a ø4mm
hole through both parts.
Shorten one of the remaining pine strips (2b - step 1)
to 25mm length with a jigsaw or scroll saw, and tidy
up the saw cut. Measure, sketch and drill a ø 5mm
hole.

3. Stick or glue the micro sliding switch (12) in its designated
opening as shown. Be careful not to get any glue on to the
contacts and the switch when gluing. 12

4. Use the hot glue gun to glue the battery clip (11)
centrally on to the underside of the base (1) as
shown. Feed the black cable of the battery clip
through the drill hole in the base to the upper
side. Connect the red cable of the battery clip
with one end of the resistor (13).

View
Connect the second end of the resistor with
the outer connection of the switch (12). Cut an
approx. 80-100mm piece of hook up wire (20)
and remove the insulation from both ends.
Connect one end of the hook up wire with the
central switch port. Feed the other end through
the drill hole in the base to the upper side.

6. Work on the wooden cube (4) as follows:
Drill a 15mm blind hole with a ø6mm drill to the measurements shown in Top View. Turn the wooden cube over and drill a
15mm blind hole in the centre with a ø10mm drill. Then drill ø 4mm hole on one side (see Side View)

8. A) Glue both side parts (3a+3b) to part 2b as shown. Note: The drill hole in part 2b has to point towards the back.
B) Attach the wooden cube (4) with the cylinder head bolt (15), a washer (19) and a buttery nut (17) between the two side
parts (3a+3b)!

7 . Use jeweller’s cutters or tin cutters to cut a 25x25mm piece
of polystyrene mirror (8). You can also use a craft knife or
a jigsaw. When doing this score along the lines from both
sides and carefully break o the cut-out piece. Measure and
mark the correct position of the drill holes and drill, using
ø5mm drill.

9. Shorten the threaded rods (14) to 130mm
length with a hacksaw. Deburr the saw cuts.

10. Screw a nut (16) approx. 10mm on each of the threaded
rods and slide a washer (19) over it. Then stick into the drill
holes from above (see illustration).
11. Turn the object over and add a washer (19) and a nut (16)
onto each of the threaded rods. Lock the nuts so that the
threaded rods stick out of the upside at an equal length of
approx. 120mm.
12. Screw a buttery nut (17) each on the front two threaded
rods (on both sides of the reector structure), at an indent
of approx. 25mm as shown.
13. Drill holes through the acrylic glass plate (5) as per
template (page 9). You might want to use a drop of oil for
drilling.

14. Carefully enlarge the drilled hole for the plastic lens
with a round le until the plastic lens ts exactly into
the hole. Glue the plastic lens (7) as shown into the
correct drill hole (approx. ø 8,8mm) in the acrylic
glass plate (5). Make sure that it doesn’t protru-
de upwards. Let the glue dry properly. Note: Pay
attention to the installation direction! Notches face
upwards
15. Place the acrylic glass plate (6) on the two buttery
nuts (17) as shown in the illustration. Cut the com-
pression spring (9) in half with a diagonal cutter.
Add a washer (19) to each of the front threaded
rods. Stick one half of the cut compression spring
(9) on each of the threaded rods as shown in the
illustration.
16. Screw a nut (16) approx. 10mm onto each threaded
rod.
17. Place the acrylic disk (5) on top of the nuts (16). Align
the nuts (16) so that the acrylic glass plate is level.

18. To x screw on a cap nut (18) each and lock.
20. Connect the LED’s cathode cable (short leg, at side) to the black cable of the battery clip. Then connect the cable from
the LED’s (10) anode with the free switch cable. Add batteries to the battery clip and switch on the switch. Does the LED
light up? If yes, continue building. If it doesn’t light up, double-check the cables. Then glue the reector construction with
switched-on light on to the base so that the LED stands vertically under the lens.

19. Thread two approx. 100mm long pieces of hook-up wire
(20) through the two drill holes (see illustration) to the top,
and connect to the two LED connectors (10). Insulate one
of the LED connectors with tape. Then stick the LED (10)
from above in the ø6mm drill hole in the cube (4). Glue the
polystyrene mirror piece (8) on to the wooden cube (4) with
hot glue or double-sided tape as shown.
