Troubleshooting

Difficulty connecting bricks

Ensure bricks are aligned correctly and apply firm, even pressure. Check for any debris on the connection points.

Missing or damaged pieces

Carefully re-check all packaging. If pieces are confirmed missing or damaged, contact the manufacturer's customer support for replacements.

Model sections not holding together
