6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the model, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the assembled model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping of the materials.
• Disassembly: While possible, frequent disassembly and reassembly are not recommended as it may weaken the interlocking connections.

7. Troubleshooting

• Model Instability: Double-check all connections to ensure pieces are fully interlocked. A loose connection can affect overall stability.
• LED Lights Not Working:
  • Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the model and the power source.
  • Ensure the power source is active and providing 5V output.
  • Check if the LED lights are correctly installed in their designated slots.
