Setup and Assembly
Assembling your 3D Crystal Puzzle requires patience and attention to detail. The pieces interlock in a specific sequence to form the final shape.
- Unpack and Sort: Carefully remove all puzzle pieces from the packaging. It is recommended to sort the pieces by shape or size if possible, though many pieces may appear similar.
- Identify Key Pieces: Look for the core pieces that form the central structure of the robot. These often have unique shapes or connection points.
- Follow the Diagram: Refer to the included visual diagram or the online step-by-step solutions provided by BePuzzled. These diagrams illustrate the order in which pieces should be connected.
- Interlocking Mechanism: Each piece has a unique interlocking design. Gently push pieces together until they fit snugly. Do not force pieces, as this may cause damage.
- Build Layer by Layer: Most 3D crystal puzzles are built in layers or sections. For the Tin Robot, you will typically build the body, head, arms, and legs separately before connecting them.
- Insert Rods (if applicable): Some 3D crystal puzzles utilize a central rod or rods to secure the structure. Ensure these are inserted correctly as per the instructions. For the Tin Robot, a central rod helps secure the body and head.
- Apply Eye Stickers: Once the head is assembled, apply the desired eye stickers from the provided sheet to give your robot its expression.
- Final Connections: Connect all assembled sections to complete the Tin Robot figure.

Operating (Display and Interaction)
Once assembled, your BePuzzled Tin Robot 3D Crystal Puzzle is designed for display. It is a static model, not intended for active play or manipulation that could cause pieces to separate.
- Display: Place your completed Tin Robot on a flat, stable surface such as a shelf, desk, or display cabinet. Its translucent nature allows light to pass through, creating an attractive visual effect.
- Interaction: While durable for display, avoid dropping the puzzle or applying excessive force, as this may cause pieces to dislodge or break.
Maintenance
To keep your BePuzzled Tin Robot 3D Crystal Puzzle in excellent condition:
- Cleaning: Dust the puzzle regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, you may gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth, then immediately dry it completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: If you need to store the puzzle, ensure it is placed in a secure location where it won't be crushed or exposed to extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Always handle the puzzle by its base or main body to prevent accidental disassembly.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and solutions you might encounter during assembly:
