5. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean your assembled model, gently dust it with a soft brush or a dry cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the blocks or cause discoloration.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all blocks in a sealed container to prevent loss. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Handling: Handle the assembled model with care, especially the delicate upper sections, to prevent accidental breakage.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blocks do not lock together securely. | Incorrect block alignment; insufficient pressure; manufacturing variation. | Ensure blocks are perfectly aligned before pressing. Apply firm, even pressure. If a specific block consistently fails, try an alternative from your sorted pile. |
| Sections of the model fall apart during assembly. | Incomplete connection of previous layers; excessive force applied to new sections. | Double-check all connections in the affected area. Build slowly and ensure each layer is stable before proceeding. Reinforce weak points if necessary. |
| Missing pieces. | Blocks misplaced during sorting or assembly; manufacturing error. | Thoroughly check your workspace and surrounding area. If still missing, contact customer support (see Section 8). |
