Learn how to install eyes with the Smart Doll Eye Cradle (Gen 3) and customize your doll's head with the Cyborg Head Cap (Pink). Step-by-step guide with practical tips.

Quick Answer

Use the Eye Cradle (Gen 3) to securely install eyes into your Smart Doll head, and attach the Cyborg Head Cap (Pink) to embed magnets for cybernetic accessories like meow ears.

Why the Gen 3 Cradle Improves Eye Installation

The Eye Cradle (Gen 3) features an improved shape that fits better inside the head, holding eyes securely in place. The translucent design lets you see the Blu-tac underneath, so you can gauge how much is used and ensure even distribution.

The subtle grooves on the front 'antenna' help keep the Blu-tac from shifting, reducing the chance of misalignment during installation.

Cyborg Head Cap (Pink): What to Know Before Buying

The Cyborg Head Cap (Pink) is a limited-batch vinyl cap that allows magnets to be embedded in its surface, enabling easy attachment of meow ears, beast horns, or other cybernetic augmentations. However, the manufacturer lists several 'gotchas' to consider before purchasing.

It's not a simple slip-on accessory; it requires careful installation and may not suit every head type. Check compatibility with your specific Smart Doll model before committing.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

  1. Prepare the Eye Cradle and Blu-tac: Take a small amount of Blu-tac and press it into the cradle's antenna area, using the grooves to keep it in place. Check that the Blu-tac is evenly distributed by looking through the translucent cradle. Too much Blu-tac can push the eye forward; too little may not hold it.
  2. Insert the Eye into the Cradle: Place the eye into the cradle, pressing gently to seat it in the Blu-tac. Ensure the eye is centered and level before proceeding. Misalignment here will be hard to correct later, so double-check now.
  3. Fit the Cradle into the Head: Slide the cradle into the head cavity, aligning it with the eye socket. The improved shape should fit snugly; press firmly but avoid forcing it. If it doesn't fit easily, remove and recheck the cradle orientation—don't force it.
  4. Secure the Eye and Test: Once the cradle is in place, gently press the eye from outside to ensure it's secure. Adjust if the eye shifts or sits unevenly. A stable eye that doesn't move when touched is your success checkpoint.
  5. Install the Cyborg Head Cap (Pink): If using the Cyborg Head Cap, place it over the head and embed magnets into its surface as per the included instructions. Attach meow ears or other augmentations by aligning them with the magnets. Check magnet alignment before finalizing; repositioning after attachment can be tricky.
