Assembly Instructions (Setup)

Follow the included instruction diagram carefully. Due to the micro size of nanoblocks, precision and patience are key.

1. Preparation: Clear a well-lit workspace. Sort blocks by color and size if desired, though the small number of pieces may not require extensive sorting.
2. Understand the Diagram: Study the instruction diagram thoroughly before beginning. Each step typically shows the addition of a few blocks to the previous layer.
3. Layer by Layer Construction: Begin with the base of the birthday cake. Build upwards, layer by layer, ensuring each block is firmly connected to the adjacent blocks.
4. Detailing: Pay close attention to the placement of decorative elements such as the white ribbons and candles as indicated in the diagram.
5. Verification: After completing each major section, compare your progress with the diagram to ensure accuracy.

Usage (Operating)
