Assembly Instructions
The nanoblock Popplio kit consists of 110 micro-sized pieces. The difficulty level for this model is rated as 2 out of 5, making it suitable for builders aged 15 and above. Follow the included instruction sheet carefully for the best results.
- Preparation: Unpack all nanoblock pieces and the instruction sheet. Sort the pieces by color and shape to make them easier to find during assembly.
- Follow the Steps: Refer to the detailed, illustrated step-by-step instructions provided in the kit. Each step will show which pieces to use and where to place them.

Maintenance
Once assembled, your nanoblock Popplio model requires minimal maintenance. To keep it looking its best:
- Cleaning: Gently dust the model with a soft brush or a can of compressed air to remove any accumulated dust. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the blocks or cause discoloration.
- Display: Display your model in a stable location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent fading or warping of the plastic.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly:
- Missing Pieces: Double-check the packaging and your work area. Due to the small size of nanoblocks, pieces can sometimes be overlooked.
- Assembly Errors: Carefully review the instruction manual for the step you are on. Disassemble and reassemble the problematic section if necessary.
- Difficulty: If you find a particular step challenging, take a break and return to it with fresh eyes. Sometimes a different perspective can help.
