Robotic Christmas Teapot

It seems like you've completed a complex project involving 3D printing and assembly of a robotic Christmas teapot. Here are the steps you took: 1. **Prepare the Chassis:** * Cut the wires on the JST connector to 60mm in length, then stripped and tinned the ends. * Soldered the black wire from the JST connector to the switch center terminal. * Soldered the red wire from the JST connector the motor "+" terminal. * Soldered a black wire from the motor "-" terminal to a switch outside terminal. 2. **Assemble the Chassis:** * Pressed "Gear, Crown, Motor, .9m, 10t.stl" onto the motor shaft. * Positioned "Arm, Animation.stl" onto the side of the chassis assembly, then secured in place with "Axle, Arm, Animation.stl". * Slid the rear wheel O-Rings onto "Wheel, Rear, Left.stl" and "Wheel, Rear, Right.stl". * Slid the left rear wheel assembly axle through the animation arm cam frame, then through the larger axle whole in the chassis assembly. * Positioned "Gear, Crown, Axle, .9m, 10t.stl" over the smaller hole in the chassis assembly, then pressed the left rear wheel assembly through the axle crown gear and out the small hole in the chassis assembly. * Pressed the right rear wheel assembly onto the left rear wheel axle such that it was 180 degrees out of phase with the left rear wheel assembly. 3. **Assemble and Install the Tiller and Spout Mechanisms:** * Slid the small O-Ring onto "Wheel, Front.stl". * Slid "Axle, Wheel, Front.stl" into the front wheel assembly, then threaded the assembly into "Tiller.stl". * Attached the tiller assembly to "Mount, Tiller.stl" using "Axle, Tiller.stl". * Positioned "Arm, Spout.stl" astride the tiller mount axle holes then secured in place with "Axle, Arm, Spout.stl", making sure the axle arm and tiller rotated smoothly. * Pressed the tiller and spout assembly into the chassis assembly while inserting the tiller arm into the animation arm beveled slot. 4. **Install the Handle Mechanism:** * Pressed "Mount, Handle.stl" into the chassis assembly. * Slid the battery into the chassis assembly. * Positioned "Arm, Handle.stl" onto the chassis assembly then secured in place with "Axle, Arm, Handle.stl" making certain the arm rotated smoothly. 5. **Final Assembly:** * Removed the handle arm axle and handle arm from the chassis assembly. * Folded the spout arm backwards to the top of the chassis assembly. * Slid the chassis assembly up into "Vessel.3mf" (or "Vessel.stl") rear wheels first. * With the chassis assembly partially inserted, rotated the spout arm out the vertical slot in the vessel. * Positioned the chassis assembly over the chassis mounting hole in the vessel, then secured the chassis assembly to the vessel using "Bolt, Body.stl". * Slid the handle arm through the horizontal slot in the vessel, positioned it over the handle arm mounting hole, then secured in place with the handle arm axle. * Pressed "Handle.stl" onto the handle arm. * Pressed "Spout.stl" onto the spout arm. * Placed four small pieces of double sided tape on "Lid.stl". * Pressed the lid onto the model.
