Setup and Assembly

This nanoblock kit is designed for ages 8 and up, with a difficulty level of 2 out of 5.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully open the package and lay out all nanoblock pieces on a clean, flat surface. It is recommended to sort pieces by color or shape if desired, though the instruction manual typically guides piece usage step-by-step.
2. Consult Instructions: Refer to the detailed step-by-step instruction manual provided within the kit. Each nanoblock set comes with clear diagrams to guide the assembly process.
3. Follow Step-by-Step: Begin building by following the instructions precisely. nanoblocks are very small (as small as 4mm x 4mm x 5mm), requiring precision and patience.
4. Secure Connections: Ensure each block is firmly connected to the previous one to create a stable structure.
5. Display Stand: Once the Marlin model is complete, attach it to the included display stand as per the instructions.

Display and Interaction

Once assembled, your nanoblock Marlin model is ready for display. It is designed as a static model for collection and exhibition.

• Display Location: Place your finished model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture to prevent damage or discoloration.
• Handling: Handle the model gently, especially when moving it, to avoid dislodging any blocks.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your nanoblock model.

• Cleaning: To remove dust, use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or cause discoloration.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss and protect them from dust.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues encountered during assembly:

• Missing Pieces: Double-check the packaging and your work area thoroughly. Due to the small size of nanoblocks, pieces can be easily overlooked. If pieces are genuinely missing, contact nanoblock customer support (see Support section).
• Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure blocks are aligned correctly. Apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid forcing blocks, as this can damage them.
• Model Instability: Review previous steps in the instruction manual to ensure all connections are secure and blocks are placed in the correct positions. A loose connection can affect overall stability.
• Incorrect Assembly: If a section appears incorrect, carefully backtrack through the instructions to identify the error. Disassemble only the necessary parts to correct the mistake.
