Exp2 construction documentation.pdf is a short overview of the documentation. I suggest that you download and read it first. The order of the construction documents shown on the right is the suggested order in which the project should be completed. I have no idea of how long it will take a builder to construct it. Experience with a soldering iron and other tools is a factor; also having friends with experience with a soldering iron and other tools may be a factor! I experimented with building many of the sections in several ways and jotted notes about how to write the instructions, all along taking multiple photographs from multiple angles of every step. Patience is another factor. Sometimes when the pictures did not show the step well, I repeated the step while trying different photographic angles. It takes longer to build this project with a camera in one hand or with a small tripod in the way! I often had to use the timed shutter release on the camera. I do suggest that for your own documentation you take a few pictures as the project progresses. Perhaps one bit of advice is that you not set a deadline as to when the microphone should be completed. Among my most frustrating moments was when a nearly perfect tetrahedral collapsed because I did not have a sufficient heat sink and I wanted to make one corner look better for the pictures! I was in a hurry. |
