🛠️ Assembly Instructions – IMPORTANT! This model is NOT print-in-place. Assembly is required!

- 🖨️ Print both parts separately: the spiral ball and the rectangular sliding frame.

- 🧹 Clean the parts: remove any leftover supports, stringing, or printing imperfections.

- 🔧 Insert the ball: position the spiral ball between the two sides of the frame, aligned with the sliding track.

- 💪 Apply firm, controlled pressure: push the ball into the frame until it snaps into position. It is designed to be a tight fit, so some force is needed.

- ↕️ Start sliding: move the ball up and down along the track.

- ✨ Keep fidgeting! The movement may feel stiff initially, but it should gradually become smoother with repeated use.

⚠️ Important: A tight fit is normal, but don't use excessive force. If the frame starts cracking or bending too much, stop and check the fit. Slight variations in printer calibration and filament can affect assembly. 🖨️ Printing Recommendations
