1. Download the model

Select the best version for your needs:

1x 10x2mm Vibration Motor required 2x M3 Nuts required Easy to apply and remove
haptic_pancake_v1.0.stl
haptic_pancake_v2.0_M3.stl

I personally recommend the updated version, but if you can't get the M3 screws, the first version would be sufficient as well.

2. Print the model

(Or use a printing service)

I designed the models to be easy to print. Lay them flat on the print bed and print them using 0.16mm as layer height.

3. Placing parts into the pancake

V1.0

Snap the motor inside its socket as it is shown on the following picture:

V2.0

  1. Strip the isolation off of the wire tips of the motor. Use a stripper or the flame of a lighter. This step is necessary to ensure that the wires will make contacts with the nuts in the 4th step. (There should be at least 5mm of wire exposed)
  2. Place the motor into its designated socket (You can peel off the paper from its backside and glue it to its socket)
  3. Insert the motor's exposed wires into the holes located on the side of the nut panel. Red one goes to the right hole, Black/Blue goes to the left hole.
  4. Place the nuts inside their sockets and apply pressure to them until it snaps into place.
