🛠️ Assembly Guide

1. Print both parts – the faceplate and the back panel.
2. Install USB-C port – snap-fit the USB-C female connector into the built-in orifice (14.6 mm x 5.4 mm).
3. Solder wiring – connect the USB-C to the 5V COB LED strip using the soldering kit.
4. Secure connections – protect solder joints with heat-shrink sleeves.
5. Mount LEDs – use foam tape to line the strip along the inner walls of the faceplate.
6. Snap it shut – press the back plate into place and hang using the rear keyholes.
