## Support Material
The **ada-head.stl** and **ada-bodyL.stl** parts will need to printed with support material. Most slicing software is capable of generating support structures to aid while printing overhangs. # 3D Printed Adabot Figurine

## Attach Arms
Depending on the material used, you may need to bend the ends of the pins to fit them into the arm socket. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/017/344/medium800/sensors_support-remove.jpg?1402458315)

## Support Removal
Use our [trusty flat pliers](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1368) to remove the support material from the around the legs and pin holes. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/017/320/medium800/sensors_attach-body-halfs.jpg?1402455310)

## Join Body
Snap together the top and bottom body parts by angling the top and sliding both pins in from the back. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/017/343/medium800/sensors_attach-head.jpg?1402458297)

## Attach Head
Position the pin where to slits are and insert the head at an angle while pushing and turning at the time. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/017/321/medium800/sensors_head-turn.jpg?1402455322)

Twist the head back and forth to loosen the joint up.

## Add Face
Place the head facing the ground and slide each eye in to place one at a time. You can rotate the eyes freely once they are in. Insert the mouth the same way. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/017/441/medium800/sensors_attach-ear.jpg?1402497006)

## Attach Ears
Plug in the ear pin into the each ear and then pinch the pins ends to insert them in the head.

## Add electronics!

Now get creative and add sensors and LEDs to your new robot friend! The mouth has a different wall thickness, so you can light up the mouth without affecting the eyes!
