The sliding bars should be in the lowest position and must be bent slightly when assembling to snap into the holes in the bottom plate.</p> <h5>Step 7</h5> <p>Open and close the lamp shade and see if it holds its position or if it yields to gravity. If it can hold its position at any point you are done. Otherwise you will need to print a set of brakes and brake holders.<br/> Start with printing brake_1mm and move towards thicker brakes if needed.<br/> See Step 8 to insert the brakes</p> <h5>Step 8 (if needed)</h5> <p><img alt="Step 8a" src="https://i.imgur.com/LMMsmV1.png" width="100%"/><br/> <img alt="Step 8b" src="https://i.imgur.com/PFMymed.png" width="100%"/></p> <p>Insert each brake into a slot at the bottom of the cube so they press on the sliding bars and secure them using the brake holders.<br/> This is easiest to do if you remove the bottom plate or a side plate and the light bulb first.</p> <h3>Usage</h3> <p>Use the handle on the bottom panel to open. Close by pressing the bottom panel towards the lamp.</p>
