7. Troubleshooting

7.1. Missing or Damaged Pieces

If you discover any missing or damaged pieces upon opening the kit or during assembly, please contact Reobrix customer support. Provide the model number (66010) and a clear description or image of the required parts.

7.2. Difficulty Connecting Blocks

Some blocks may require more force to connect than others. Ensure proper alignment before applying pressure. If a connection feels excessively tight or loose, double-check the instruction manual to confirm the correct part and orientation. A small hobby hammer (not included) can sometimes assist with firm connections, but use with caution to avoid damage.

7.3. Unclear Instruction Steps

While the manual is designed to be comprehensive, complex steps may sometimes require careful interpretation. Review the diagrams thoroughly and compare them with the physical pieces. If a step remains unclear, try to visualize the next few steps to understand the overall structure being built.
