4.2 Assembly Steps
- Identify Key Pieces: Look for the base or central pieces that form the core structure. For the Cheshire Cat, this might be the body sections.
- Interlock Pieces: Gently fit the translucent pieces together. They are designed to interlock securely. Do not force pieces, as this may cause damage.
- Build Layer by Layer: Many 3D puzzles are built in layers or sections. Refer to the included instruction sheet for specific guidance on the order of assembly.
- Attach Features: Once the main body is formed, attach smaller features like the tail, ears, and facial details.
- Final Connections: Ensure all pieces are firmly connected and the structure is stable.

- Placement: Display your completed puzzle on a stable surface, such as a shelf, desk, or bookcase, away from direct sunlight to prevent potential discoloration over time.
- Cleaning: Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can scratch or damage the translucent plastic.
