Adding materials to PDF assembly instructions
Opened this issue · 0 comments
We are building the FluoPi at Cambridge Biomakespace using the PDF assembly instructions (not DocuBricks) and one of the things that confused people was what material each of the pieces on the parts diagrams were made from. In particular, there was confusion about T12 (paper diffuser) because everyone started looking for an acrylic part of the same shape and the PCB, which isn't labelled on the bottom module explosion so people also thought that was a missing acrylic part.
Later instructions and labels fix this and correctly identify the parts, but despite around 5 people looking at the documentation, this wasn't noticed until after the meeting was over and several people spent time checking the laser cutter templates to see if we missed something.
Adding materials e.g. T12 - paper diffuser and adding a part number and label for the PCB might be clearer for those working rapidly through the instructions and clearly not reading every page 🙂
