Setup & Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your 4D Build Charmander model. No glue or tools are required for assembly.
- Preparation: Unpack all sheets and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Familiarize yourself with the different sheets and the overall design.
- Punching Out Pieces: Carefully punch out each piece from the EPS foam sheets. Be gentle to avoid tearing or damaging the pieces. Refer to the included instructions for specific piece identification.
- Following Instructions: The included instructions will guide you through the assembly process, typically in a numerical or alphabetical sequence. Identify the corresponding slots and tabs on each piece.
- Connecting Pieces: Gently insert the tabs into the matching slots. Ensure a snug fit without forcing the pieces, which could cause damage. The EPS foam is designed to interlock securely.
- Building Sections: Assemble the model in sections as indicated in the instructions (e.g., body, head, limbs, tail, base). Connect these sections once they are individually complete.
- Final Touches: Once all main sections are assembled, attach any decorative elements or the display base as per the instructions.

Maintenance
To keep your 4D Build Charmander model in optimal condition:
- Cleaning: Gently dust the model with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water, cleaning solutions, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the EPS foam and printed surfaces.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, do so carefully to avoid bending or tearing the interlocking tabs. Store pieces flat in a dry, cool place.
- Handling: Always handle the model by its base or main body to prevent stress on smaller, delicate parts.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or with your finished model, consider the following:
- Pieces Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step. Double-check the instruction manual for piece identification. Do not force pieces together; gently align tabs with slots.
- Damaged Pieces: If a piece is bent or torn, try to gently reshape it. For significant damage, contact customer support (see Support & Contact Information).
- Model Instability: Ensure all connections are secure and snug. If the model feels wobbly, re-examine the connections in the affected area.
- Missing Pieces: Carefully check all packaging and sheets. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact customer support.
