Next comes the On/Off Switch. This part 
can be placed in either way, it is the circuit 
board that makes the logic connection to 
the bug on and off. Solder all three 
connections. Then snip the extra length of 
the switch.

STEP 4: ON/OFF SWITCH

Now time for the legs! Unroll the 
length of wire and cut it into three 
parts. Thread each one through the 
top, under the bottom, and back out 
the top. It takes a little wiggling to get 
it into place. Once you have the wire 
placed solder each connection. Then 
cut the legs to your desired length. 
Make sure all legs make contact with 
the table surface when flipped over.

STEP 5: LEGS

BE CAREFUL! COVER THE BOARD WITH 
YOUR HAND SO THE BITS DON’T GO 
FLYING AND MAKE SURE YOU’RE 
WEARING YOUR SAFETY GLASSES.
