5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your 3D panda model, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as they may damage the paper material.
• Storage: Store the model in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent warping or fading of the paper.
• Handling: Handle the model by its base or sturdy sections to prevent accidental detachment of smaller pieces.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during assembly or with the finished model, consider the following:

• Pieces not fitting: Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the current step as indicated in the instruction booklet. Do not force pieces; they should fit snugly but without excessive pressure.
• Model instability: Recheck all connections to ensure pieces are fully inserted and secured. Loose connections can lead to an unstable model.
• Missing pieces: If you believe a piece is missing, carefully check the packaging and surrounding area. If a piece is genuinely missing or damaged, contact customer support.
