The generated steps skip a fold or the servo horn

The problem

Assembly text jumps from “cut piece A” to “attach the servo” with no hole, horn, or fold described.

Fix, in order

1. 1

   Look at the cutout outlines. Tabs and slots that are drawn should be cut even if the prose skipped them. The drawing is usually more complete than the paragraph.

2. 2

   Mount the servo horn on the servo first, at the midpoint angle from the code (often 90 degrees), then mark cardboard to that horn. Attaching cardboard and then forcing the horn on fights the first move.

3. 3

   Paste the missing step back into the copilot: “The instructions skip how to attach the servo horn on the drawbridge. Write that step only.” Do not regenerate the whole package unless the cutouts are also wrong.

4. 4

   If a fold would bind the servo, do not add extra glue “to be safe.” See cardboard joints and the stall safety note.
