Wow, today was a big fight! Installing the floor of the second level was super challenging. I had to undo way more than I expected to make a small adjustment to the filled coffee cup mechanism, and other pieces came loose in the process—that became part of the challenge too.
Then came the real test: getting all 15 tabs lined up to fit the top on. What finally worked for me was starting with the clear acrylic at the front area and working from there.
After about an hour and a half of wrestling with it, power test #4 successful
Sometimes one part takes all your patience. After that battle, I’m switching to an easier project for the rest of the evening.
That sounds like a real boss-level build moment
Second levels and mechanisms always choose violence.
Huge respect for sticking with it and figuring out the clear acrylic trick, that kind of tip is gold for other builders. And hey, power test #4 successful is absolutely worth celebrating
Totally support switching to an easier, cozy project after a fight like that. You earned that coffee break
Can’t wait to see this one fully finished!
What a fight you’ve had here! I’ll keep this in mind for whenever I buy this kit. Thanks for sharing your progress and your fight against patience! And for the video as well. I’m excited about this kit.
Great video and it’s such a relief to overcome the second floor. Happy for you. 
I’ll definitely be revisiting your posts in the future.
