4. Assembly Instructions

This 3D puzzle is designed for tool-free assembly. No glue or scissors are required. Follow the steps below and refer to the included assembly diagram for visual guidance.

1. Preparation:
   • Unpack all contents and lay them out on a clean, flat tabletop surface.
   • Familiarize yourself with the assembly diagram (poster). It shows the sequence of assembly and how pieces connect.
   • Identify the numbered puzzle pieces. They are typically organized on sheets and can be gently pushed out.
2. Piece Identification:
   • Each puzzle piece has a unique number. Match these numbers to the corresponding steps in the assembly diagram.
   • Some pieces may have tabs and slots. Ensure these align correctly for a secure fit.
3. Step-by-Step Assembly:
   • Begin with the base structure as indicated in the diagram.
   • Carefully detach each piece from its sheet. If a piece is difficult to remove, gently rock it back and forth or use a blunt, non-sharp object to assist.
   • Connect pieces by inserting tabs into corresponding slots. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force pieces together, as this may cause damage.
   • Follow the numerical sequence provided in the assembly diagram. Building out of sequence may make later steps more difficult or impossible.
   • Pay close attention to the orientation of each piece to ensure the architectural details are correctly aligned.
4. Completion:
   • Continue assembling until all 132 pieces are connected and the Capitol Hill model is complete.
   • The estimated assembly time is 60 to 90 minutes, but this may vary based on individual experience.

5. Usage and Display

Once assembled, your CubicFun Capitol Hill 3D Puzzle can be proudly displayed as an ornament or a decorative piece. It is suitable for tabletop display.

• Display Location: Choose a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity to preserve the model's integrity.
• Handling: When moving the assembled model, support it from the base to prevent pieces from detaching.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 3D puzzle:

• Cleaning: Gently dust the model with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water, cleaning solutions, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paper and polystyrene.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, do so carefully to avoid damaging the tabs and slots. Store pieces in their original packaging or a similar protective container.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly, consider the following:

• Pieces not fitting:
  • Ensure you are using the correct numbered pieces for the current step as per the assembly diagram.
  • Check the orientation of the pieces. They may only fit in one specific way.
  • Verify that no tabs or slots are bent or obstructed. Gently straighten any bent parts if possible.
• Model instability:
  • Re-check connections to ensure all tabs are fully inserted into their corresponding slots.
  • Ensure the base structure is firmly assembled before adding upper sections.
• Missing or damaged pieces:
  • Carefully check the packaging and surrounding area for any small pieces that may have been overlooked.
  • If a piece is genuinely missing or damaged upon opening, contact CubicFun customer support for assistance.
