Just wanted to share a quick tip for anyone assembling this beautiful 3D design! The print itself is flawless and the craftsmanship is amazing. ❤️ I noticed a few people mentioning alignment issues when closing the ball. Here’s what worked perfectly for me: **Assembly Tip** Before tightening everything together: 1. Add a bit of glue to the **bottom section** where the joint connects. 2. Let the **middle joint piece** sit about halfway in place — don’t fully tighten yet. 3. Then carefully screw the **top of the ball** onto the joint, adjusting as you go until the pattern lines up perfectly. 4. Once aligned, let it **sit for a full day** so the glue can cure. 5. After it dries completely, you’ll be able to open and close the ball nicely without misalignment. Hope this helps anyone having trouble — it’s such a cool design and deserves to look its best!
