Cute vibrating bug

Cute and easy to print vibrating bug!

NO soldering needed
NO wire twisting.

Designed to last and cheap to make.

You'll need:

• 10x3 mm coin vibrating 3V motor
• CR2032 battery
• glue
• toothpick
• wire strippers/stripping tool

How to assemble:

1. Take bigger half of the bug and the vibrating motor. Strip at least 1-2 cm of the isolation from both wires. WARNING: the motor has very fragile wires that can easily twist off. It’s the heart of your bug, so handle it with care. 
2. Gently bend the red wire, peel off the adhesive cover on the bottom of the motor, thread the red wire through the tunnel, and stick the motor in place. In the picture below, you can see the highlighted path of the red wire.
3. Using a toothpick, carefully push the red wire into the hole at the entrance of the tunnel.
4. Put a very small amount of glue on the part of the wire inside the hole and hold it with a toothpick until the wire stays in place on its own. Try not to smear glue on the part of the wire sticking out.
5. Once the glue has dried, bend the blue wire so that it points toward the battery compartment.
6. Take the other half of the bug and carefully align it with the first half. Before snapping them together completely, check that the blue wire is inside the battery compartment. Then you can snap both halves of the bug together.
7. Now all that’s left is to decorate your bug and set it loose into the world. You can use a pipe cleaner, which fits into the hole in the bug’s “head.” If it doesn’t stay in place, secure it with a drop of glue. Finally, insert the battery (the ridged side should face the red wire), press it in, and off into the world you go!
