Install Front Cover

Insert the front cover into the center of the the snowflake with the chamfered edges fitting together.

The angled edges will prevent the front cover from falling out of the front of the snowflake.

Front Cover

With the front cover fully seated, the holes should be accessible for the LED noodles.

The pins from LED noodles will be inserted through these holes so it's important they are not blocked by the front cover.

Install First Noodle

Begin inserting the pin from a noodle through one of the holes.

Using flat nose pliers, carefully pull the end of the noodle through the hole.

Press Fit Noodle

Flip the snowflake and begin pressing the noodle through the channel to create the first branch of the snowflake.

Installed First Noodle

Carefully fit the other end of the noodle through the second hole in the branch.

Use flat nose pliers to assist in carefully pulling the end of the noodle through the hole.

Noodle Pin Placement

Reference the image for noodles' best placement. The four noodles will be wired in parallel and will share voltage and ground connections.

Polarity Checkpoint

Proceed to install the second noodle into the second branch of the snowflake.

Double check the pins are in the correct orientation for wiring in parallel.

Third Noodle Install

Continue to install the third noodle into the branches.

Fourth Noodle Installed

Take a moment to inspect all of the pins of each noodle.

The voltage (+) and ground (-) symbols are denoted on the image to show correct placement.

Assembly Checkpoint

Ensure the noodles are properly fitted into all of the channels of the four branches.

Hardware for Back Cover

Use the following hardware for the back cover.

  • 2x M2 x 12mm long screws
  • 2x M2 hex nuts

Install Hardware to Back Cover

Insert M2 screws through the holes with the screw heads facing the top and threads are facing the bottom.

Use the two hex nuts to secure the M2 screws in place.

Create Holes in the Battery Holder

The coin cell battery holder already has mounting holes but they need to poke through the top cover. A screw tap can assist in drilling out the holes.

Use an M2.5 size screw tap to create holes for securing the battery holder to the snowflake's back cover.
