## Build Steps

1 - Remove all protective film. Be careful not to scratch the acrylic pieces. Check all pieces are included. Let us know if anything is missing.

2 - Place a 6mm Screw through the Base Piece, protruding up

3 - Screw a 10mm Standoff onto the protruding screw

4 - Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the remaining holes on the base plate. Leave the 2 holes as shown empty. Screw these tight

{% hint style="info" %}
Optional Step - Steps 4-5 are for the feet.&#x20;

Skip these if you want to keep the keyboard at a 0 degree tilt.
{% endhint %}

4 - Add 4mm Screws to the last 2 holes facing down. Screw the 3mm standoffs onto the screws.

5 - Place the feet over the standoffs (Piece with larger holes placed closer to bottom plate) and use the remaining 4mm screws. **NOTE** - These won't have much thread so make sure to remove all protective layers first.&#x20;

5 - Place 3 x Middle Piece with USB cutout onto the protruding standoffs. Each layer will be slightly bigger than the lower layer

6 - Place 1 x Middle Piece closed onto the protruding standoffs.&#x20;

7 - Place the switch plate on top of the case so far. The plate should already have your switches and PCB installed. (Shown with some switches missing)

8 - Add the tops layers, and screw everything together using the 12mm screws

9 - Add feet to the bottom of the case. **Your case is now complete!**
