Day 2: Spinning Cups, Popping Paws & One Loud Mechanism

Made serious progress yesterday! Built most of the internal mechanisms—coffee cups that twirl, cups with coffee that go around, and a couple of cat paws that pop in and out. Everything’s testing great :sparkles:
The mechanism noise is pretty loud, though. The music helps but doesn’t completely cover it—it’s noticeable but not super distracting. I tried a few things to reduce it, but after checking with the community it sounds like that’s normal for this kit, so I’m relieved I didn’t assemble something wrong!
Still loving how the instructions lay out each section with parts listed in a left column—makes it so easy to stay organized.
Day 3 starts today—let’s see how much farther I can get! :hot_beverage:

Nice progress! :raising_hands: Those mechanisms are so fun, and it’s great to know the noise is normal. Can’t wait to see what Day 3 brings!

Looking good already. Because this structure has many moving parts, I can understand why you hear it a bit more. Perhaps it will become less noticeable once more is built on top.

I haven’t bought this kit yet, but everyone says it works very noisily.
