7. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter during or after assembly:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Missing pieces | Pieces may be stuck together, overlooked, or genuinely missing from the package. | Thoroughly check all packaging and sorting trays. If still missing, contact SAMYBLOCKS customer support with the specific part number from the instruction booklet. |
| Difficulty connecting blocks | Incorrect alignment or insufficient pressure. | Ensure blocks are perfectly aligned before applying firm, even pressure. Some micro blocks require more force than larger blocks. |
| Model is unstable or falls apart | Blocks not fully connected, or an assembly error. | Review previous steps in the instruction manual. Gently press all connected blocks to ensure they are securely fastened. Reassemble any sections that appear loose. |
| Colors appear different from instructions | Similar shades of colors (e.g., dark blue) can be confused. | Double-check the color codes or visual cues in the instruction manual. Ensure proper color classification during initial sorting. |
