Assembly Instruction

Please remember that this is a puzzle model. Assembly is also a part of the puzzle experience.

 

1. Remove all support and brim from pieces. 

2. Attach 2 Center pieces to Axis pieces. Repeat for 6 times. 
    

3. Clip the 6 Axis pieces to the Core Piece. You should hear a click sound when the Axis Piece is clipped properly. 
    

4. Slide 2 Edge pieces between the Center Pieces,  add 1 Corner pieces between Edge pieces, and slide the third Edge piece. 

    

5. Repeat adding Edge pieces and Corner pieces to finish the bottom part.
    

6. Keep adding more Edge and Corner pieces. Leave the top layer empty for now. You should have 5 Edge pieces and 5 Corner pieces left. 
    

7. Add 4 Edge Pieces and 5 Corner Pieces to the last layer. 
    

8. Insert the last Edge piece. This step is very difficult. You need to find the right direction to slide the Edge piece in, and apply some force to make the Edge piece to final position. 

9. For Tile style: Apply Tile pieces. 
10. Optional: Apply some silicone based lubricants to your new puzzle.
