Assembly Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1: Lay out all wooden panels, blue 3D-printed parts, screws, nuts, washers, and the 4mm dowel. Check that you have everything.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Assemble the main box by sliding the four side panels (front, back, left, right) into the slots on the base plate tabs.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Install the card dividers inside the box by screwing them to the base plate with M3x8mm screws, nuts, and washers.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Mount the LCD display frame to the upper center of the front panel using M3x8mm screws and the Allen key.

  5. 5

    Step 5: Attach the card scanner slot to the middle of the front panel, below the LCD mount, with M3x8mm screws.

  6. 6

    Step 6: Install the decorative speaker grille on the lower left of the front panel with an M3x8mm screw.

  7. 7

    Step 7: Mount the control button panel to the lower right of the front panel with M3x8mm screws.

  8. 8

    Step 8: Attach the two hinge brackets to the top edge of the back panel using M3x6mm screws, one on each side.

  9. 9

    Step 9: Connect the lid plate to both hinge brackets using M3x6mm screws to form the lid assembly.

  10. 10

    Step 10: Slide the 4mm dowel through the holes in both hinge brackets to create the hinge pin that lets the lid open and close.

  11. 11

    Step 11: Test the hinge by opening and closing the lid. It should move smoothly.

  12. 12

    Step 12: Practice 'scanning' cards by sliding them through the card slot, then store them in the organized compartments inside!

  13. 13

    Step 13: Draw or print a PokéDex screen design on paper and place it behind the LCD mount window for a realistic display.

About This AI-Designed Building Kit

This PokéDex Card Scanner & Storage kit was designed entirely by artificial intelligence based on a young inventor's idea. Every InventShack kit features precision laser-cut 1/8" birchwood plywood panels, custom 3D-printed PLA components, and real M3 socket head cap screws with hex nuts — the same hardware used in real engineering projects.

Unlike mass-produced building kits, this design is one-of-a-kind. The AI selected from a library of parametric component templates — base plates, side panels, wheel discs, axle mounts, rubber band hooks, corner brackets, and more — then configured each part's dimensions to create a working build. All holes align to a 10mm grid system, ensuring every part connects properly.

Perfect for kids ages 8-10 who love building, inventing, and engineering. Whether you have a laser cutter, a 3D printer, or just want to see what AI can design — InventShack turns kids' ideas into real, buildable projects.
