It is a well-known truth that open-source DIY projects are only as good and popular as their documentation. So I was wondering of a form of assembly instructions that would contribute to this.
Interactive assembly instructions
Finally, I came up with the vision of the interactive 3D assembly instructions. It means that you can freely move, rotate and zoom the assembly to properly understand a particular step of the build.
It was quite a tough work to put it together. But from the user perspective I believe it is one of the most illustrative and fun to use approaches.
It’s optimized for Full HD (1920×1080) resolution, desktop only. If you’re on a desktop with a different resolution, you can use a simple work around. Just press F12 to turn on DevTools in your browser and change the resolution in the responsivity options.
Video instructions
I’ll also prepare a simple alternative to access the assembly instructions on mobile phones. I don’t think it’s the best way, but sometimes it can be useful. Below is how it will look like.
Enjoy!
