So, if you have all of these pieces, then let's shuffle on! ^{(pun intended... hehe)}

Shuffler Base- Part 1

This is the first part of the shuffler, this is the part where you insert the cards.

Follow all of the notes on the pictures.

Shuffler Middle- Part 2

This is the second part of the shuffler.

Follow all of the notes on the pictures.

Shuffler Middle- Part 3

This is the third part of the shuffler.

Follow all of the notes on the pictures.

Shuffler Middle- Part 4

This is the fourth part of the shuffler. A bit of a short step...

Follow all of the notes on the pictures.

Shuffler Top- Part 5

This is a top section that will go onto the back of the shuffler.

Other Details- Part 6

In this step, you'll make the things that the cards will slide on when they are emptied into the tray. Then you'll make the card pusher.

Shuffler Top- Part 7

This top section will complete the look of the top. Also, you'll build the battery pack holder.

The Motor- Part 8

Here is the part that will make it all automated: the motor!

I'm sorry about this step, but it is all in one clump. It was too fiddly to take apart, but there are loads of pictures!

Attaching the Shuffler and the Motor

Here you'll attach the motor to the shuffler and connect the battery pack.

Other Parts-Part 11

Now you'll build a bottom section and fix up the rubber bands.

Card Tray-Part 12

This is the tray that will hold the shuffled cards.

The Other Shuffler

This is the other shuffler, just repeat steps 2-8, but do not add the battery pack holder as the other one.

Follow the notes on the pictures! :-)

The second picture is what it should look like.

Connecting the Other Shuffler

Attach the other shuffler to your model. Make sure the rubber bands are fixed up right.

Finished!

Congrats, you are now finished with our awesome card shuffler!

All you have to do to shuffle them is cut the deck in half, insert each half into the two sides, turn the motor on, and watch the cards get shuffled.

Have fun shuffling cards!
