    Keep Your 3D Printed Products Looking Great

    Easy care and cleaning instructions for durability and long-term use.

    3D printed items are durable, customizable, and incredibly versatile—but just like any product, they need the right care to stay looking new. Whether you’ve purchased a ModuMesh accessory, storage connector, clip, or decorative add-on, a little maintenance goes a long way toward keeping your prints looking great and performing well.

    Why Cleaning Matters

    Dirt and oils can settle into layer lines over time. With proper cleaning, storage, and protection, your ModuMesh pieces stay strong and visually sharp for years.

    What to Use (and Avoid)

    Safe Cleaning Tools

    • Mild dish soap + warm water
    • Microfiber cloth or soft brush
    • Compressed air for small crevices

    Avoid to Prevent Damage

    • Acetone or harsh chemicals
    • Steel wool or abrasive scrubbers
    • High heat (including hot tap water or blow dryers)

    Cleaning Steps

    1. Rinse gently with lukewarm water.
    2. Mix a small amount of dish soap in warm water.
    3. Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the surface.
    4. Rinse thoroughly.
    5. Pat dry and allow the product to air dry fully.

    Storage Tips

    Environment Best Practice
    Indoors Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
    Outdoors Place in shaded or UV-protected spaces.
    Workshop/Garage Keep parts away from heat sources and crushing pressure.

    Repairs & Longevity

    • Light sanding (400–800 grit) fixes surface scratches.
    • Super glue works for most minor cracks.
    • If a part is heavily damaged, replacement is recommended.

    Final Reminder

    With just simple care and handling, your ModuMesh 3D printed parts will last longer, look cleaner, and stay functional—whether they're used indoors, outdoors, or in high-use spaces.
