Note: The two back panels and top panel are not included in the instructions above due to variance in dimensions that may occur when cutting/assembling. They can be measured and cut out once the box is assembled. The Lower-Back Panel uses 0.5'' board and the Upper-Back and Top Panels use the 0.25'' board.

1) Drawn Out Lines
In both can panels, draw lines to serve as guides as to where the dividers attach. Draw the lines on both sides.
2) Attaching Dividers
Attach all 8 dividers to the twp can panels following the guides.
3) Finished Can Panels
Once the can panels are finished, they should be able to hold fifty cans and cans should be able to fit between the rows.
4) Box Frame
Attach the two side panels to the bottom panel. Drill through the underside of the box.
5) Mounting Top Can Panel
Flip the frame of the box upside down, and place the Top Can Panel inside of the box. Secure it to the sides of the box using two screws on each side (two more screws will be added later with the handles).
6) Bottom Can Panel
Slide the Botton Can Panel into the box and secure it with four screws on each side to the side of the box.
7) Finished Can Panels
With the box mostly finished, measure the dimensions of the top of the box and draw it out on the 0.25'' MDF board.
8) Back of Box
Measure the dimensions of the two back panels and use the 0.5'' MDF for the bottom section (behind the large compartment) and 0.25'' MDF for the top portion (behind the can panels).
9) Lower Back Panel
Attach the 0.25'' thick Lower Back Panel to the box.
10) Spacers
The Upper Back panel needs 0.5'' spacers to give space for the sensors.
11) Upper Back Panel
Mount the 0.25'' Upper Back panel to the box with the spacers in between.
12) Top Panel and Handles
Attach the 0.25'' top panel, and use two screws for each handle on each side. Make sure the screws drill into the Upper Can panel on the inside for support.
13) Door and Hinge
Once everything is done, the plexiglass can be cut to size, door handle mounted, and connected to hinges which can then be mounted to the box.
1) Drawn Out Lines
In both can panels, draw lines to serve as guides as to where the dividers attach. Draw the lines on both sides.
