5. Display and Care

Once assembled, your Micro Diamond Block animal in a bottle is a decorative item. Place it on a stable surface away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation or fading.

The bottle protects the delicate micro-block model from dust and accidental dislodgement of pieces.

6. Maintenance

To keep your display model looking its best:

• Cleaning the Bottle: Gently wipe the exterior of the glass bottle with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For smudges, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry wipe. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning the Model: If the model inside requires cleaning (e.g., if dust somehow enters), carefully remove the wooden stopper. Use a soft brush (like a clean, dry paintbrush) or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust. Avoid using liquids directly on the blocks.
• Storage: If storing the model, ensure it is kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat or sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

Missing Blocks:

Carefully check the packaging and surrounding area. Micro blocks are very small and can be easily overlooked. If blocks are genuinely missing from a new, unopened kit, please contact customer support with proof of purchase.

Difficulty Assembling:

Ensure you are following the instruction sheet precisely. Micro blocks require precision and patience. Double-check the orientation and connection points of each block. Sometimes, a small amount of force is needed to snap blocks together.

Model Not Fitting in Bottle:

Verify that the model has been assembled according to the instructions and that no extra pieces are causing it to be too wide or tall. The dimensions of the assembled models are approximately 196mm (height) x 100mm (width).

9. User Tips

• Organize Your Blocks: Before starting, sort your micro blocks by color and shape. This will significantly speed up the assembly process and reduce frustration.
• Use Tweezers: Due to the small size of the micro blocks, a pair of fine-tipped tweezers can be very helpful for precise placement.
• Work on a Stable Surface: Ensure you are building on a flat, well-lit, and stable surface to prevent accidental spills or loss of tiny pieces.
• Patience is Key: Micro block assembly requires patience and attention to detail. Don't rush the process; enjoy the challenge!
