4. Troubleshooting
- Difficulty with Small Pieces: Due to the micro size of nanoblocks, assembly requires patience and fine motor skills. If you find it challenging, consider using tweezers for precise placement.
- Missing Pieces: While rare, if you believe a piece is missing, double-check your work area thoroughly. The kit is designed to include all necessary components. If a piece is genuinely missing, refer to the support section for assistance.
- Blocks Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct block for each step and that its orientation matches the instructions. Blocks are manufactured to high tolerances for a perfect fit. Avoid forcing pieces together.
- Figure Instability: If the assembled figure feels unstable, re-examine the connections, especially at the base and critical joints, to ensure all blocks are firmly pressed into place.
