5. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean your nanoblock model, gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn dust, a soft brush or compressed air can be used. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the assembled model or loose blocks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or damage.
- Handling: Handle the model with care, especially when moving it, to prevent pieces from detaching.
6. Troubleshooting
- Missing Pieces: Double-check the packaging and your building area. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact nanoblock customer support for assistance.
- Difficulty Connecting Pieces: Ensure blocks are correctly aligned. Apply gentle, even pressure. If a piece doesn't fit, verify it's the correct piece for that step according to the instructions.
- Model Instability: Review previous steps to ensure all connections are secure. Sometimes a loose connection early in the build can affect stability later.
