REMEMBER TO SOLVE THE CUBE BEFORE CUTTING!
Step 1: Prep for the Incision Doctor
take anything that will mark on plastic.then use the belt to mark the edges. after this is done extend the line to the other side making the line connect at the edge. then connect the the two line together making a rectangle and dont worry if your line are a little wonky its just a guide line to cut on.
Step 2: Its Slicing Time
The title says it, all now take the cube apart by prying a top side center cube with a flat head screwdriver.
After that is done take the three cubes that you marked earlier and cut them on the long lines
(the center cube you will have to cut out completely but don't cut out the corner cubes like the center cube or the belt wont stay attached well)
now that the center is cut out start the corner by cutting a right angle on the inside of the cube. next cut the line you drew on the cube to the edge.
REMEMBER THAT THE THE WIDTH YOU CUT NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE BIGGER THAN THE BELT'S WIDTH
part 2
take the drill and drill in the corner as close to the corner as possible
then repeat on the otherside
this will give the nail a hole to go through so their is something holding the belt besides plastic

Step 3: Belt Attachment
ok time to attach the belt to the cube to the belt take the belt and slide one side into the line u cut on one side of the cube and pinch the belt and fold it to were you can slide it into the other side
next take the nail and slide it through the two holes you made earlier to hold the belt in place.
the take the belt and buckle it into place snap snap and its attached
step 2
take the cube and on the same face that you put the belt but the opposite side locate the center of the center cube and drill with a small bit to start the hole for a screw then what else screw it in but not all the way keep enough space for the belt to be effective
step 3 (optional still read)
on the belt you may have to adjust the holes in the end of the belt its simple match a drill bit to the head of the screw and drill the holes out
if its to small you can make it a custom fit find were the screw comes too and mark it then drill it out
