STARTING TIPS
It is a good idea to
start every step in-
serting nuts into
beams (if the step
requires).
Use the back of the
screwdriver to push
in the nuts.
After entering the
rst slot, nuts tend
to tilt. Use your
thumb to push it
back straight, and
then again use the
screwdriver to in-
sert the nut all the
way in.
Push Nylon
Stando with your
thumb while tight-
ening it with the
wrench.
Some of the
nuts are missing
threads. This is a
manufacturing is-
sue and we are
working on it. In the
mean time, we add
few extra nuts. We
apologize for the
inconvenience.
Use Beam/Bolt
ruler to determine
the length of beams
and bolts.

Tip for tightening lock nuts:
Here a bolt and a lock nut is used as a hub or bearing
in joints between the spider leg parts. They should
not be tightened too much, since they must rotate
easily. But they should not be wobbly either. Find the
tightening that you feel is good.
Alternatively use a
socket for 5.5 mm
HEX heads to hold
the lock nuts.
Repeat this step 4 times.
