Assembly

1 . Cut the 16 joiners that print in the first layer of the top part. If you have very good bed adhesion, you can print the torture test version and skip this step. 2. Spray a bit of lubricant on the mechanism, or add a couple of drops of oil 3. Snap the two parts together 4. If you are printing the ring version, cut out a piece of foam, approximately 41 mm in diameter, with a slit for the ring, and place it on the platform inside (I used a melamine sponge cut with a kitchen knife and scissors) 5. Insert a ring 💍 or a lunar meteorite 🌑 6. Enjoy the reveal
