First bag out of 7 took me 505 minutes in total.
Realistically a bit longer, because I forgot to resume the timer. But I also spent time coming up with a sorting system, because there are less bags, and a lot of different pieces come together in the same bag.
That was difficult, a lot of hanging parts, but especially because I didn’t know or notice that one piece has a screw that lets you adjust its length.
Since I have to manage my time, I started setting timer and adding extra time if I run out, instead like with Lego build, just finishing one bag in one sitting.
I discovered that Cada has two types of angled connectors, one at 45 and another at 60 degrees. They are both black, so it took me a long time to understand why two components do not fit.
Then not only I got the angles wrong, again, but also that I have one non-rotating piece more and one similar rotating piece less, which means that somewhere inside there’s a piece that might be a bit loose, but also that now I can’t get the part that needs to be rotating to rotate. Had to find a combination of pieces that would produce similar shape.
Then had to fix a few angles, again, and since I was left with a rather small amount of pieces, I decided to finish it in one sitting, instead of spreading it over two, which took me 1:30 hours.
It worked out, although I was left with more spares that I’d expect.
