Handle Screws

 

Use 2.5x5mm long screws to attach the printed faux "screws" to the sides of the handle.

Fasten the M2.5 screws to the printed faux "screws" and then fasten to the handle as seen in the picture.

The two bottom screw hole are for the attaching the pommel.

Pommel

Pass the jack end of the JST through the center.

Loop the socket end of the JST wire out of the one of the holes on the collet.

Domes

 

Align the screw holes on the handle to the screw holes on each dome and then fasten with M2.5x6mm long screws.
