nanoblock NBC-043 Christmas Tree Construction Kit

1. Product Overview

The nanoblock NBC-043 Christmas Tree is a micro-sized construction kit designed for enthusiasts of detailed building models. This kit allows you to construct a miniature Christmas tree using approximately 120 micro-sized building blocks, each measuring 5mm in height. The finished model serves as a decorative item, perfect for festive displays.

Figure 1: Fully assembled nanoblock Christmas Tree. The tree structure is built with translucent green micro-blocks, giving it a vibrant appearance. A bright yellow translucent star sits atop the tree. Various small translucent blocks in red, blue, and yellow are integrated into the green structure, representing colorful ornaments. The base of the tree is constructed from translucent brown blocks, providing stability.

2. Setup and Assembly

Follow these general guidelines for assembling your nanoblock Christmas Tree. Always refer to the specific diagrams and step-by-step instructions provided within your product packaging for precise block placement.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully open the packaging and lay out all nanoblock pieces on a clean, flat surface. Ensure all approximately 120 pieces are present.
2. Identify Base Pieces: Begin by identifying the translucent brown blocks that form the base of the Christmas tree. Assemble these according to the initial steps in your instruction diagram.
3. Build Tree Layers: Proceed to build the green translucent tree layers. Pay close attention to the layering and interlocking patterns shown in the diagrams. nanoblocks are small, requiring precision.
4. Integrate Ornaments: As you build the green layers, integrate the small red, blue, and yellow translucent blocks at the designated points to represent ornaments.
5. Attach Star: Once the main tree structure is complete, attach the yellow translucent star block to the very top of the tree.
6. Verify Assembly: After completing all steps, gently inspect your assembled Christmas tree to ensure all blocks are securely connected and the structure is stable.

Note: Due to the small size of nanoblocks, assembly requires patience and fine motor skills. If you encounter difficulty, re-examine the diagrams carefully. Some steps may require firm but gentle pressure to secure blocks.

3. Operating and Display

Once assembled, the nanoblock Christmas Tree is intended for display. It does not have any moving parts or electronic components.

• Placement: Place the assembled model on a stable, flat surface where it is unlikely to be knocked over.
• Environment: Display in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent potential discoloration of the plastic blocks over time.
• Handling: Handle the model gently to avoid accidental disassembly, especially when moving it.

4. Maintenance

Maintaining your nanoblock Christmas Tree is simple and helps preserve its appearance.

• Cleaning: To clean, gently dust the model with a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth. For more stubborn dust, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a secure container to prevent loss. Store in a cool, dry place.

5. Troubleshooting

While nanoblock kits are generally straightforward, you might encounter minor issues during or after assembly.

• Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are correctly aligned. Apply firm, even pressure. If a block seems too tight, check for any debris or misalignment.
• Missing Pieces: Double-check the packaging and your work area. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact nanoblock customer support (see Section 7).
• Model Instability: Review the assembly steps, particularly the base and lower layers, to ensure all connections are secure and blocks are placed as per the diagram.
• Discoloration: If blocks appear discolored, it may be due to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the model away from direct light sources.
