I comes in 3 pieces. It is important to print the hairplate in orange. The other colors don't matter.

The Fusion 360 model is here if you want it...

This is the most important step. Spray paint the case shiny gold.

Add Some LED Eyes to the Backplate

This step is optional, but recommended. I used normal red LEDs, but you can use whatever you have.

Set Up the Raspberry Pi

You'll need a Raspberry Pi 3, and SD card, and a power supply. If you don't already have one, here is a nice kit that comes with everything...

You can also use an old Raspberry Pi 1 or 2 with a Wifi adapter, but it will be even slower and suck.

Install the TrumpWAP Software

You'll have to print out the above face file on a piece of paper and cut it out with scissors.

Install the Pi Into the Case

It doesn't really fit, so you have to jam it in there.

Attach an Antenna

I used this sticky tape...

The antenna helps the waves get out.

Enjoy a Better Internet!
