Starting with your old friend, Arm 1, place one of the wood motor mount disks inside the
frame and make sure all the holes on the disk align with the holes on the frame. The holes
are not in a perfect square, so if they don’t align, turn the mount 90 degrees and look again.
Eventually, you will get the mount so the holes all line up. Then use one of the small black
screws to secure the mount to the frame, screwing in until just the tip of the screw can be
seen coming through the top of the frame.
This step is a bit fiddly and can be challenging the first time you do it, but once you get the
hang, the other three will go on fairly quickly.
NOTE: DO NOT USE LOCTITE OR ANY SCREW
ADHESIVE ON YOUR SCREWS. We promise the
Screw Gods will not smite you and send your
motor flinging off your frame if you don’t.
The motor mount was specially designed to
grip your screws and help prevent the need
for Loctite. If you do use Loctite, however, the
Frame Gods, who are division of the Plastics
and Chemistry Gods, will reign down cracks
on your frame. (That’s our way of saying the
chemicals in Loctite interact badly with the
plastics in the frame. So don’t do it.)
