🧩 Discover the Intricate UGEARS Puzzles Research Vessel Construction Experience Review

Pretty decent 3D active puzzle. Spent hours of fun putting this together with family. Our children aged 7 to 18 are to help bring this together. Some parts are tight and require an extra hand to avoid damaging the parts. Overall entertaining and educational. I will order another windmill👍🏻

In this particular set the wood feels thinner and the veneer is more prone to chipping. It was so bad that it was impossible to grind all the screws in the elevator machine. To compensate for this, a lot of waxing was done. The axles broke due to build pressure and other issues due to poor quality materials used in this particular kit. The assembler collected 65 of these three-dimensional wooden puzzles, so experience shows that the product has defects.

The design has been thought through down to the smallest detail and contains many interesting ideas. The quality of the wood was the worst I have ever used and I have made several of these from different suppliers. Almost every piece I pulled out of the sheet had splinters, so all of the pieces had the edges cut off. I used more glue on this set than any other set I've built. I broke a lot of parts and I do these projects very carefully. It's all done and everything works as it should, but I…

I'm an experienced wood model laser cutter. Ugears is an extraordinary company. This model is quite complex and requires the installer to follow the instructions carefully. Some effort is required to extrude parts. Parts are ready to be found because the manufacturer indicates which plate they are on. I had a short elastic but I used my own to complete the load. The assembler must carefully follow the lubrication instructions to keep the working parts moving smoothly. There are no written…

Ok, I got this model as a Christmas present. And like the others, I had some problems. My rubber bands are too thick to fit in the wheel slots and also too big. They should have been 60mm but they are 80mm so they are a bit longer especially for the final drive section. 2. The winding system does not work. I traced and took it apart 4 times just to make sure everything was fine and it was. So mine will be desktop. I'm still working on it, still a lot of work. I only wish ugears would add a…

Okay, I'll do it bit by bit. First, it takes a long time compared to some other smaller ones, which is good. Took me over 10 hours but I didn't take any breaks so it may take longer if you take it easy. Secondly it works, it doesn't work very well but I think it has more to do with my lack of experience with these mechanical builds (this is my first) but it works. Third, the instructions are great, they even draw your attention to the little things to look out for, which is a great little…

Overall I liked the detail and the look when everything was assembled. I couldn't get the gears to move, so the winding and moving part didn't work. The assembly was quite difficult in places. Advantages: 1. There are no numbers on the parts, which makes it better.2. Looks good when finished. Many details.3. Contains a useful assembly tool. Disadvantages1. The instruction doesn't always give the right angle to see what you should be doing. I used the instructions on the website which I was able

This is a very interesting model to assemble. It will take you a lot of time and a lot of patience to get it right. I've built ten models from UGears and several models from other companies, that's not the hardest, nor the hardest. And the seesaw reducer is not very complicated, you just need patience to assemble it. Lightly sand the gear teeth with fine sandpaper (I use 320 grit) and wax them well (regular paraffin candle works better than the included wax). Sand all bearing surfaces and wax…

This model was quite a bit of fun to put together. It definitely took a long time to get it right. I have created many of these typeface models and this one is considered to be one of the most labor intensive. I could do it much faster, but I didn't want to break anything and wanted everything to work the first time. I succeeded, but with great effort and patience. As with their other model kits, the instructions consisted mostly of pictures. This is great as it provides detail and makes it…
