3.2 Assembly Process

The assembly process is designed to be straightforward, with pieces interlocking. No glue is required for the primary construction. Estimated assembly time is approximately 1.5 hours.

1. Preparation:

   • Identify all wooden sheets and familiarize yourself with the numbered pieces.
   • Prepare a clean, well-lit workspace.
2. Detaching Pieces:
   • Gently press out each numbered piece from the wooden sheets. Avoid forcing pieces to prevent breakage.
   • If a piece is difficult to remove, use a small craft knife or the provided cotton swab to carefully cut the connecting points.
   • Use the provided sandpaper to smooth any rough edges or tabs after detaching.
3. Following Instructions:
   • Follow the step-by-step diagrams in the instruction manual precisely. Each step indicates which numbered pieces to use.
   • Ensure pieces are oriented correctly before interlocking.
   • Apply gentle, even pressure when connecting pieces.
4. Connecting Components:

4. Display and Interaction

Once assembled, the ROBOTIME Electric Guitar Model is intended for display. It is not a functional musical instrument.

• Placement: Place the model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity to preserve the wood.
• Interaction: While durable for display, avoid rough handling or dropping the model, as delicate parts may break.
• Customization: The wooden surface can be painted or stained if desired, allowing for personalized decoration. Ensure any paints or finishes used are suitable for wood and non-toxic.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using wet cloths or harsh cleaning agents.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, do so carefully to avoid damaging the interlocking tabs. Store pieces in a dry, cool place.
• Repairs: In case of minor breakage, wood glue can be used to reattach pieces.

6. Troubleshooting

• Pieces not fitting:
  • Ensure the correct pieces are being used for the current step. Refer to the numbered diagrams.
  • Check for excess material or burrs on the tabs or slots. Use sandpaper to gently smooth these areas.
  • Verify the orientation of the pieces.
• Pieces breaking during removal:
  • Apply gentle pressure when detaching pieces. If resistance is met, use a craft knife to carefully cut the small connecting points.
  • The kit often includes a few extra delicate parts. Refer to the parts list for duplicates.
• Model is unstable:
  • Ensure all interlocking connections are fully seated.
  • For added stability, especially if the model feels light, small weights can be added to the base (e.g., pennies with glue, as suggested by a user review).
  • While not required, a small amount of wood glue can be applied to critical joints for a more permanent and stable display.
