General Assembly Instructions
Cricket’s chassis is made from ABS plastic. You will be gluing it together using plastic glue
which is provided. The supplied glue works well. You can also use Super Glue Gel if you
would like but I’ll warn you that it leaves a white residue which is difficult to clean off.
Otherwise the gluing process is the same. If you do use Super Glue Gel, I suggest that
you use soapy water and a tooth brush to remove any white residue caused by the Super
Glue. Use a minimal amount of glue when assembling the parts. Too much glue makes a
mess. If you do get glue squeezing out, leave it to dry and cut it off later with the Xacto
knife. If you try to wipe it, it will smear.
Cricket’s chassis is laser cut so the corners and notches are sharp. If you would like to
have an extra nice job, a little bit of filing of the corners and edges will make the parts fit
better however filing is optional except for few steps which are noted. On the sections
where filing is directed, you must remove the small ridge to allow the pieces to fit together
smoothly. Some of the part holes and notches may still have plastic slugs in them. You
need to knock these slugs out with a toothpick or other small instrument.
Assemble the Legs
Cricket’s outer four legs are identical
and are made up of 3 parts, the leg
(B) and two pivot pieces (C). These
pieces interlock by sliding C into the
notch on B. The parts must be glued
to assure the legs don’t come apart
with use.
