  3D Prints

  First, 3D print the control box top and bottom as well as the indicator box front and back. While these are printing, you can start on assembling the circuit board as described in the next step.

  Circuit Board

  Follow the Circuit Schematic and solder the circuit together as shown in the pictures. The Components section below details the required components and specifications of which of each electronic component to get, as well as the hardware used while creating the case. The resulting piece of circuit board should fit with some extra space into the control box bottom. Note: only solder the wires for the joystick, power LED, capacitors, switch, and cable (to the indicator lights), as we will be attaching those after the top of the control box is assembled.

  Top of Control Box

  Next, push the joystick into the top of the case (you will probably need to remove the switch cap for this, and may need to break off any plastic pieces that stop it from sitting flush on the case). The pins should stick through the bottom just enough to solder, and the four metal clips should easily bend to tightly attach the joystick to the case. After this, push the LED in (you can use some glue or epoxy if it doesn't fit snugly) and attach the switch. Finally, solder the wires left as guided by the schematic and pictures.
