Paper Craft Assembly Manual
Before assembly: 1/9 Tips on assembly: Print all the parts (Photo-quality paper is recommended for ink-jet printers and paper of medium thickness (0.20 mm) for laser printers.) Print this manual. Prepare the following:scissors,hobby knife (cutting blade), Ruler, Tweezers,Pointed tool (e.g., used ballpoint pen, stylus, awl),glue for wood or paper craft,marker,desk pad for craft making. 1 ) Before detaching parts from the sheets, first use a used ballpoint pen, a stylus or other pointed tool to make a light crease along the folding lines, to make it easier to fold neatly later on. Explanations on lines and symbols: 4 ) When cutting a straight line, try to draw the paper toward you as you cut, rather than moving your scissors away from you; this will produce a cleaner cut. If you use a hobby knife, put a pad underneath to protect the desk surface and use a ruler. Unless instructed otherwise in the manual, the parts should be mountain folded so that the printed surface will be on the outside of the folded shape. } Cut along the line. } Mountain fold (Fold along the line. The printed surface should be on the outside of the folded shape.) } Valley fold (Fold along the line. The printed surface should be on the inside of the folded shape.) } Cut out the shaded area. } Sections with red dots are margins for gluing or gluing surfaces. } When gluing one section to another section, align the edges of that part with the dotted lines. Note on printing When printing the file with Adobe Reader, make sure to switch from Shrink to Printable Area (default) to None under the Page Scaling heading, which appears in the Print dialog box (see the diagram on the right), to create a model scaled to the actual size. Click here and choose None. 2 ) To remove the parts from the printed sheet, cut carefully along the outer edge of the solid lines. 3 ) It is useful to gently write a number on the back of each part for easier identification later on. 5 ) Similarly, try to hold the scissors steady and rotate the paper as you cut rounded parts for a better cut. 6 ) Each part should be gently bent for easier gluing and accurate assembly. 7 ) When folding along a straight line, it is best to use a ruler. 8 ) For the lens and other contoured parts, the section should be rubbed against the corner of a desk or other rounded surface to give them a natural curve before gluing. 9 ) A number of fine parts are involved in the assembly. The key is to let the adhesive dry adequately. Also, be careful not to blot the parts with glue remaining on your fingers. 10 ) If you use glue for wood craft, spread the adhesive on a piece of paper first, then use a strip of thick paper to scoop the adhesive and apply a thin layer of adhesive over the glue margins. 11 ) Hold the parts firmly until the glue becomes dry. 12 ) Assemble each part first before putting all parts together for final assembly of the entire model.
