The hardest part putting the case together is the buttons, but its a fun process. I've done architectural models in the past, so not that hard for rejeezy. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jon Phillips <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 1:09 PM Subject: Re: Milkymist One order from Jon To: Wolfgang Spraul <[email protected]> Cc: Jon Phillips <[email protected]>, Yi Zhang <[email protected]> Great, its all put together! Yes, the buttons are bit annoying, but I would recommend from doing architecture stuff for someone to use elmers glue, pour some out onto piece of paper and apply with q-tip after the glue has set for a bit. Then dab a bit onto each layer, and hold firm. I was confused a bit at first if to glue the buttons on then realized they just fit into the little button holes. The other part that should be clear in the instructions is to remove the plastic risers that ship with just the milkymist board. one more thing would be good to get milkymist.org and/or the logo somewhere on the case...no way to identify, which is important if others see it sitting there... wish some brighter LED on the inside so it shines like the star it is in a dark club. I'll keep using and give more feedback soon. So far totally awesome and fun to make the case. I think that actually putting it together gives even more appreciation for it...the hardest part is the buttons, but I like the instructions require some fiddling.... Rewarding!
