Before assembling

Try putting parts together before gluing them and use sandpaper to fit parts better, if needed.

Assembly

Glue "shell top" to "cup bottom". Use alignment notches to connect parts. 

Glue "ring top" (ring with slots) to "cup bottom), try to push it right up to "shell top". Slide "ring bottom" over "cup bottom" and glue "shell bottom" to "cup bottom". There are additional fins to set part in the correct orientation.

Glue "ring bottom" to "cup bottom", pressing it against "shell bottom".

Glue "insert" to "cup bottom". It should fit into "shell bottom" and cover "cup bottom". You may consider painting visible areas of "cup bottom" to avoid seeing it through the gaps.

Glue "plate bottom a" and "plate bottom b" to "insert".

Glue "plate top" to "cup top".

Now you should be able to screw "cup top" in place. Be careful since the cap can fit very tight, you might want to use "turning tool" and soap to repeatedly screw cap in and out until you can turn it by hand comfortably.

Enjoy your Eather Cell.
