Step 6Circuit Origami: electrolytic capacitors, part 2
A. Bend the positive terminal of C3, C3(+) towards pin 1 on the MAX756 so that it is inside of pins 1 and 2.
B. Solder C3(+) to pin 1 on the MAX756. Trim the remaining length of pin 1.
C. Turn the assembly so that it's resting on the negative lead of C1, C1(-). Cut a strip of electrical tape that's narrower than the width of capacitors C2 and C3 together and about twice as long. Place this electrical tape between C1 and C2/C3 so that it will cover the C2/C3 ground pins. This will keep C2(+) from accidentally touching and shorting to ground.
E. Bend C2(+) 90 degrees so that it's over the C2/C3 solder joint. Then bend it 90 degrees towards the C1(+) terminal.
F. Solder C2(+) to C1(+) and trim the remaining length.
B. Solder C3(+) to pin 1 on the MAX756. Trim the remaining length of pin 1.

Really impressive instructables, it's a piece of art. Thank a lot for that information about MAX756, it'll solve some of my problems about a good 5V source!!!!! :D
