• Cleaning: The blocks and track pieces can be disinfected by washing with warm water and mild soap, or by carefully using boiling water for sterilization. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storage.

• Marbles getting stuck: Check all track connections for proper alignment. Ensure there are no gaps or misaligned pieces that could impede marble flow. Re-evaluate the stability of the supporting block structure.
• Blocks not fitting snugly: While designed for compatibility, some variations in fit may occur. Try rotating blocks or using different pieces if a connection feels loose. Ensure blocks are pressed firmly together.
• Launcher not working: Verify that the marble is correctly placed in the launcher's slot. Ensure the trigger mechanism is clear of obstructions and can move freely.
