1) Snap 4 of your lolly sticks in half and tape four pieces on top of each other in two stacks of 4 and tape them together

2) Put double sided tape on the top of both stacks and take of the white adhesive cover

3)Place the remaining two lolly sticks on the stacks, about two millimetres apart

4) Put some more double sided tape on the normal sized lolly sticks and take of the white cover

5) Place the motor on top of the two normal sized lolly sticks, slotting the motor axel between them

6) Flip it over and put the fan on the motor axel

Finished!!

Place the stacks on either side of your Raspberry Pi and enjoy a heat free RPI session!!
