Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required for this product. The building blocks are designed for intuitive connection, allowing for various track configurations. Follow these general steps for assembly:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all pieces from the packaging.
2. Identify Base Pieces: Start by laying out the flat base blocks that will form the foundation of your marble run.
3. Build Upwards: Connect vertical support blocks to the base pieces to create height and structure.
4. Integrate Track Pieces: Attach the slide pieces, funnels, and other track components to the vertical supports. Ensure that the track pieces align to allow marbles to flow smoothly from one section to the next.
5. Test Flow: Periodically test the marble flow as you build. Drop a marble from the starting point to ensure it travels through the intended path without getting stuck. Adjust pieces as needed.
6. Secure Connections: Press blocks firmly together to ensure stable connections.
