Assembly Instructions
The JEKCA building block system utilizes a unique interlocking brick-through system for sturdy construction. Follow the steps below and refer to the included building manual for detailed model-specific instructions.
Figure 1: This diagram demonstrates the core mechanism of the JEKCA interlocking system. It shows how a pin is inserted into aligned blocks and then turned 90 degrees with a screwdriver to secure the connection, ensuring a sturdy build.
- Preparation: Unpack all components and organize the building bricks by color and shape as indicated in the model-specific building manual.
- Block Alignment: Identify the first two blocks to be connected. Align the holes on the side of one block with the corresponding holes on the adjacent block.
- Pin Insertion: Insert a connecting pin through the aligned holes. Ensure the pin passes completely through both blocks.
- Secure Connection: Use the provided pin driver tool to turn the inserted pin 90 degrees. This action locks the blocks together, creating a strong and stable connection.
- Repeat: Continue this process, following the step-by-step diagrams in your model-specific building manual, until the entire model is complete.
Figure 2: This image provides a three-step visual guide for connecting JEKCA blocks: 1. Align two blocks. 2. Insert the provided pins through the aligned holes. 3. Use the pin driver to turn the pins 90 degrees, locking the blocks securely in place.

Interlocking System Operation
The JEKCA interlocking system is designed for durability and stability. Once pins are inserted and turned 90 degrees, the connection becomes rigid, preventing the model from easily breaking apart. This system allows for the creation of complex and robust structures that maintain their form over time. To disassemble, reverse the process by turning the pins 90 degrees in the opposite direction and carefully pulling the blocks apart.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean your assembled JEKCA model, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the model in a stable location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation or discoloration.
- Disassembly: If disassembling, keep all pins and blocks organized to facilitate future reassembly or storage.
Troubleshooting
- Difficulty Inserting Pins: Ensure the blocks are perfectly aligned. If resistance is met, gently wiggle the blocks to ensure the holes are clear. Do not force pins, as this may damage the blocks or pins.
- Pins Not Turning 90 Degrees: Verify that the pin is fully inserted through both blocks. If the pin is not fully seated, it will not turn correctly. Apply firm but gentle pressure with the pin driver.
- Loose Connections: If a connection feels loose after turning the pin, ensure the pin was turned a full 90 degrees. Sometimes, a slight adjustment is needed to fully engage the locking mechanism.
- Confusing Instructions: Refer to the visual diagrams in the included building manual. If a step is unclear, try to visualize the connection from different angles or review previous steps. Online resources or community forums may also offer additional visual aids.
