STEP 1

Find Your Gears and Eyebrow Accessories

Grab an eyebrow and an eye gear. Can you spot where the eyebrow snaps in?

Notice that there are two different eye gears, and the spiky one has a special spot on the back that fits onto the shaft of the 180-degree servo motor.

STEP 3

Attach the Gears and Brows to Your Base

Eyebrows ready? Let’s gear up your monster’s head! Slide the spiky gear onto the servo motor shaft, then line up the other eyebrow gear with the holes on the left side. Notice that the tips of the eyebrows are facing outward?

STEP 4

Secure the Gears and Brows to Your Base

Time to lock those eye gears in place! Take a bolt and push it through the hole of the left eye gear. Make sure it goes all the way through the wooden base. Hold the bolt steady with your pointer finger, then twist on the nut nice and tight. Now your monster’s eyes aren't going anywhere!
