Assembly guides

Some of our 3D printed pieces need a little assembly, like puzzles and pop-out cards. Scan the QR code that came with your product and it will bring you straight to its guide, or find your product below.

General assembly tips

These apply to most of our snap-together and pop-out pieces.

Pop out pieces gently

Push small parts out of their frames with your thumbs, never twist or bend them. If a piece resists, wiggle it back and forth instead of forcing it.

Test the fit first

Dry-fit every piece before pushing it all the way in. 3D printed parts fit snugly by design, a little pressure is normal.

Assemble in order

When a guide lists numbered steps, follow the order. Larger pieces usually go first and small detail pieces last.
