Component Required

• EDU PICO: Project & Innovation Kit for Pico W

• Pro'skit 60W Hot Melt Glue Gun (11mm)

Step 1 : 3D Print part by part

Step 3 : Assemble the 3D Printed Parts

Before assembly 3D printed part,you need to break your RGB LEDs component from EDU PICO board.

Once finished, begin by assembling the 3D printed parts of the obsidian block according to the structure.

There will be another white block in the obsidian block.

After that,install RGB LEDs inside the block.Use double tape to attach RGB LEDs inside the block.

Lastly,use glue gun to securely attach the closure part.
