Basically all you are building is the flashing light assembly and then putting the box together. Although this is an intermediate kit there are no instructions on how to get everything into said box. Also it was more luck than judgement that I found that the black gloss finish to the box was hidden under a protective self adhesive veneer like material. The sound the box creates is on the tinny side compared to my other Bluetooth speaker but is reasonably powerful. As others have mentioned some instructions would be very helpful. Unfortunately my experience has put me off from trying other kits.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and fair review—we truly appreciate it. Our technical team recently created a comprehensive instruction manual for this kit, which you can find via a link on the product page above, under the section titled Further Product Information.
Although you've already completed building your kit, the manual might still be helpful. It includes instructions for modifying the speaker to enhance bass output, which could address the tinniness you mentioned.
If you're interested in exploring other kits but have hesitated due to concerns about instructions, we’re pleased to share that we now automatically send instruction manuals to customers immediately after purchase. Additionally, our technical team is always available to provide extra support if needed—just reach out to us at info@thesciencehut.com.
Thanks again for your feedback!
I ordered the Bluetooth speaker and all they sent was a few bags of parts with absolutely no instructions whatsoever!
Hello Lawrence - sorry to hear you're not happy with your purchase. Perhaps you misunderstood what the product was? It is supposed to come in parts as a project for electronics enthusiasts to build the speaker themselves. If you'd like to reach out to info@thesciencehut.com with your order number, they'll provide the instructions for you.
Great little project, excellent kit in itself, 2nd kit I’ve done just to improve my soldering really.
The only issue I have is trying to figure out how to assemble the box and the pubs inside, either I’ve missed the boat or there’s something I just can’t figure .
Hi Max, thanks for your purchase and thank you for taking the time to leave these review, we really appreciate it. Glad these kits are helping you to practise and improve your soldering skills. The box can indeed be challenging to assemble, and this one is particularly tricky since it's larger than most. You need to carefully align the tongues on the edges of each side panel so that they interlock, the when everything is aligned, the top panel is place in position (again, making sure to align and interlock with the other panels), then the two bolts that go down trhough the top tighten everything up and hold the whole thing together. So, all the panels are essentially loose and need to be held in place until the top panel is added and the bolts tightened... this can be tedious, trying to hold so many pieces at the same time, while also trying to screw in bolts. If it's proving too difficult, see if you can ask someone to help to align the panels with you and hold them in place while you apply the bolts through the top.
Hi Jack, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, it's very much appreciated. Great to see it side-by-side with the FM radio kit that you also ordered from us previously... nice that these kits in particular produce something to entertain you after the effort that goes into building them :) Thanks a lot for your repeat orders!
Good quality components, well packaged. Easy enough to solder, all through-hole components, no SMD's. Surprisingly good sound and excellent bluetooth connectivity.
