The MAGBLOCK set is designed for easy assembly and immediate play. Most magnetic tiles connect instantly. For components like the wheels, follow these simple steps:

Wheel Assembly and Disassembly

To assemble the wheels, align the wheel axle with the designated slot on a magnetic block and push firmly until it clicks into place. To disassemble, pull out with moderate force. This mechanism allows for versatile vehicle construction and easy modification.

Operating Instructions: Unleashing Creativity

Basic Building Principles

• Connecting Tiles: Simply bring two magnetic edges together, and they will snap into place.
• Flat Designs: Begin by creating 2D shapes on a flat surface to understand how the magnets connect.
• 3D Structures: Once comfortable with 2D designs, experiment with lifting and connecting edges to form cubes, pyramids, and other three-dimensional shapes.

Example Creations

The included instruction manual provides various examples to inspire building. Here are a few ideas to get started:

Troubleshooting

Magnets Not Holding Firmly

If you find that some magnets are not holding as firmly as expected, ensure that the tiles are properly aligned. Magnetic tiles are designed to connect securely when edges are matched correctly. While rare, excessive force or impact may weaken individual magnets over time.
