3. Setup and Assembly
Assembling your ROBOTIME 3D wooden puzzle is a rewarding process. Please follow the specific instructions provided in the manual included with your kit for the best results. The general steps are outlined below:
3.1 Preparation
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all wooden sheets and other components from the packaging.
- Identify Parts: Familiarize yourself with the different wooden sheets and the parts labeled on them. Refer to the parts diagram in your kit's manual.
- Prepare Workspace: Ensure you have a clean, well-lit, and spacious area to work on.
3.2 Assembly Process
- Punch Out Pieces: Gently press out the individual wooden pieces from their sheets. If a piece is difficult to remove, use a craft knife or the provided tool to carefully cut the connecting points.
- Smooth Edges: Use the included sanding paper to smooth any rough edges on the pieces for a better fit and finish.
- Follow Numbered Steps: The included instruction manual provides a numbered, pictorial guide. Assemble the pieces in the exact order specified.
- Interlock Pieces: Most pieces interlock without glue. Apply gentle, even pressure to fit them together. If a connection is particularly tight, ensure alignment before applying force.
- Integrate LED Lights: As you progress, the manual will guide you on where and how to install the LED light components. Ensure wires are routed correctly and connections are secure.
- Complete Sections: Build the model section by section, ensuring each part is firmly in place before moving to the next.

4. Operating the LED Lights
Once your model is fully assembled and the LED lights are integrated, you can illuminate your creation.
- Power Source: The LED lights are typically powered via a USB connection. For the Eiffel Tower, a Type-C USB cable (not included) is required.
- Connection: Connect the USB cable to the designated port on your model (e.g., the Type-C port on the Eiffel Tower) and plug the other end into a compatible USB power adapter (e.g., phone charger, computer USB port, power bank).
- Activation: The lights should illuminate automatically once power is supplied. There is typically no separate switch.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ROBOTIME 3D wooden puzzle models, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or wet cloths, which can damage the wood.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the models away from water, high humidity, and direct exposure to liquids, as wood can warp or swell.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the wood to fade or crack. Place your models in a location with indirect light.
- Handle with Care: While assembled, the models are sturdy, but avoid dropping them or applying excessive force, which could break delicate parts.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or operation, consider the following common solutions:
- Pieces Don't Fit:
- Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step. Refer to the instruction manual's diagrams.
- Check for rough edges and use sanding paper to smooth them.
- Ensure proper alignment before applying gentle pressure. Do not force pieces.
- Missing Pieces:
- Double-check all wooden sheets and packaging. Small pieces can sometimes be overlooked.
- If a piece is genuinely missing, contact ROBOTIME customer support (see Section 8).
- LED Lights Not Working:
- Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the model and the power source.
- Try a different USB power adapter or port.
- Verify that the internal wiring connections are intact and not pinched or broken during assembly.
- Model is Unstable:
- Review previous assembly steps to ensure all connections are firm and pieces are fully interlocked.
- Ensure the model is placed on a flat, stable surface.
