Operating Instructions

The Shashibo's design allows for intuitive manipulation. The magnets provide satisfying clicks as the cube shifts between forms.

Basic Transformation: Hold the cube firmly and gently pull or push its segments. The magnetic connections will guide the cube into new configurations.
Discovering Shapes: Experiment with different movements. The cube can transform into various geometric shapes, including stars, rectangles, and more complex polyhedra.
Combining Cubes: Multiple Shashibo cubes can be connected together using their strong internal magnets to create larger, more intricate structures and sculptures. Align the magnetic edges of two or more cubes and they will snap together.

Maintenance

The Shashibo is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.

Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
Storage: Store the Shashibo in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve its material integrity and magnetic strength.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface finish and artwork.

Troubleshooting

While the Shashibo is robust, here are some common observations and their resolutions:

Issue	Possible Cause / Resolution
Difficulty forming shapes	The cube's segments may need to be gently coaxed. Refer to the mobile app for visual guides and tutorials on specific transformations. Practice will improve dexterity.
Magnets feel weak or connections are loose	Ensure the cube is not exposed to strong external magnetic fields or extreme temperatures, which can affect magnet strength over time. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Surface wear or peeling artwork	This can occur with extensive use. While the surface is tear-proof, prolonged friction or sharp objects can cause cosmetic wear. This does not typically affect functionality.
