4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your assembled 3D puzzle:
- Keep the assembled model in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight or excessive humidity, which can damage the paper and foam materials.
- Dust the model gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to maintain its clean appearance. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Handle the model with care to prevent accidental damage or detachment of pieces.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly, consider the following:
- Difficulty with piece fit: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step by checking the numbering and the instruction diagrams. Do not force pieces; gently adjust or re-examine the orientation.
- Missing pieces: Double-check the packaging and work area. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact CubicFun customer support for assistance.
- Structural instability: Review previous steps to ensure all connections are secure and pieces are fully interlocked. Sometimes a loose connection early in the build can affect stability later.
