• Model Instability: Review the assembly steps for the section that feels unstable. Ensure all connections are secure and no steps were missed or incorrectly performed.
• Parts Not Moving Freely: If a feature like an opening door or turning wheel is stiff, check for any misaligned pieces or excess friction. Ensure no blocks are obstructing the movement.
