Introducing the Makedo Roto-Ring!

This little beauty allows you to add rotating movement to your cardboard creations. Let's see how it works!

What you need

Step 1

Grab some cardboard, a Roto-Ring, your Scru-Driver, and a few Scrus.

Mark the location

Step 2

With the pointy teeth of the Roto-Ring facing down, press it firmly into the cardboard.

Punch the holes

Step 3

Now, grab your Scru-Driver and punch holes into each of the indentations made by the Roto-Ring.

Widen to fit

Step 4

Push the tool completely through the holes you’ve made. This will make one wide hole that is just the right size for the Roto-Ring.

Insert the Roto-Ring

Step 5

Rotate the tool to create a hole big enough to fit the Roto-Ring. Then press the Roto-Ring into the hole you’ve just created.

Connect

Step 6

Use a Scru to attach the Roto-Ring to the cardboard.

And just like that, your creation now has a moving part! The Roto-Ring keeps everything secure while spinning smoothly.

Optional: Add another layer

Step 7 (optional)

With two Roto-Rings and a Scru+, we can add a second part and have them rotate independently.

Attach the second layer along with the first using your Scru+.

Two layers of motion, for twice as many possibilities!
