Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions:
Missing Pieces: If you find any pieces missing, please contact Kawada customer support with your product details. Refer to the parts list in your physical manual to identify the exact missing components.
Difficulty in Assembly: Nanoblocks are small and require precision. If you encounter difficulty, try using tweezers for better grip and control. Double-check the instruction diagrams for correct block placement and orientation.
Loose Connections: Ensure blocks are firmly pressed together. While Nanoblocks are designed for a snug fit, excessive force is not required. If a connection feels consistently loose, verify the correct block type is being used.
