What comes with a 3D Metal Puzzle when you buy one?
Unpacking a 3D Metal Puzzle is almost like opening a small treasure chest. For many, the experience is not only about building the model, but also about discovering the thoughtful way everything is organized in the package. Here's an overview of what you can expect:
Tools and manual
All 3D Metal Puzzles come with the necessary tools so you can get started right away. In addition, a detailed manual with clear pictures is included. At a minimum, it's always in English, and in some cases it's also available electronically. The manual guides you step-by-step through the entire building process.
Metal parts – structured and numbered
The many metal parts are packaged in a highly organized manner. Each part is numbered and directly referenced in the manual, making it easy to find exactly the part you need. Some parts come in small numbered plastic boxes, bags, and others in metal sheets – but always in a structured way that provides an overview.
My recommendation is to keep the metal pieces in their original packaging for as long as possible. This makes it much easier to find the parts along the way and ensures that you maintain an overview.
Good tips for the construction process
-
Use a silicone mat: Our S180 Silicone Mat is ideal for keeping track of the many small parts. It helps you create structure and order, which is essential – especially on models with hundreds or even thousands of parts.
-
Work section by section: First, find all the parts that belong to one section of the manual and put them together. This provides a much better flow and minimizes the risk of losing parts or losing track of things.
-
Keep your tongue in the right place: Some models can have several thousand parts. Systematic approach and patience are key to a good experience.

3D Metal Fox (White):
A good example from our range is the beautiful 3D Metal Fox in white. The model comes with a very detailed manual and a well-thought-out system of small plastic storage boxes, where all parts are numbered according to the manual. In addition, you will find small bags, each numbered and divided according to sections in the manual - so you can always find exactly the parts you need for each step.Of course, the necessary tools for assembly are also included. An extra nice detail of this model is the beautiful white plastic parts, which are safely stored in a foam storage box. This protects the parts and at the same time gives a really stylish look when unpacking it.
Conclusion
A 3D Metal Puzzle is much more than just a model – it's an experience from start to finish. With the included tools, the thorough manual, and the impressive organization of parts, you get a building experience that is both challenging and incredibly satisfying.
