Frequently Asked Questions

Q - Isn't 3D printed stuff just more plastic?

Polylatic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable, non-toxic, thermoplastic polymer made from renewable resources such as corn starch, sugarcane, or other plant-based materials. Known for its eco-friendly properties and versatility, PLA has gained widespread popularity as a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. Its low environmental impact, ease of processing, and adaptability make it a key material in the packaging, medical, and 3D printing industries. PLA items should not be placed in direct sunlight or near high heat as they can warp.

Q - Why are there lumps and bumps on my model?

3D printing is not flawless. Extruding moulten plastic through very small nozzles over ‘000’s of small layers can sometimes leave small imperfections on the surface. This is completely normal.

Q - Do you design?

Our aim is to source high quality 3D models from established designers that are different from the norm and something you would want to show off. We are developing our own in-house designs that we hope to show-off soon.

Q - Can you do a bespoke model for me?

Yes! We have access to lots of different colurs including glittery, shiny or dual/tri colours. Let us know what you'd like and we'll see what we can do.

Q - What is the lead time for models out of stock?

As we set up our shop we are currently operting on minimum stock levels so please contact us if you'd like something and we can advise on a time. In most cases we should be able to turn orders around within 5 working days or less.
