3D Printed Product Care Instructions

Thank you for your purchase! Please follow the care guidelines below to help your 3D printed item last as long as possible.

General Care

• Avoid exposing the product to extreme heat (above ~50–60 °C / 122–140 °F), as it may warp.
• Keep away from open flames, stovetops, car dashboards in summer, and radiators.
• Clean gently using a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, acetone, strong alcohol, or abrasive cleaners unless you know the material is compatible.

Material-Specific Guidelines

PLA (Common Decorative & Light-Duty Prints)

• Not dishwasher-safe.
• Avoid soaking in water for long periods.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Limit long-term exposure to direct sunlight to reduce risk of warping or brittleness.

PETG (More Durable / Utility Prints)

• More heat- and water-resistant than PLA.
• Can usually be hand-washed with mild soap and lukewarm water.
• Avoid abrasive scrub pads that may scratch the surface.

ABS (Higher-Temperature Applications)

• More heat-resistant than PLA and PETG.
• Can be wiped with mild soap and water; use alcohol sparingly.
• Avoid strong solvents (like acetone) unless intentionally used for finishing.

TPU / Flexible Prints

• Do not overstretch, twist aggressively, or pull on thin sections.
• Hand wash only; avoid dishwashers and high heat.
• Keep away from sharp objects that can puncture or cut the material.

Painted or Coated Items

• Treat as you would painted decor or delicate accessories.
• Clean with a dry or lightly damp microfiber cloth.
• Avoid alcohol, acetone, or harsh cleaners that may damage the finish.

Items with Moving Parts

• Operate moving parts gently; do not force anything that feels stuck.
• If motion becomes stiff, a small amount of dry lubricant (like silicone spray or graphite) can help—avoid oily lubricants.

Food Contact

Unless explicitly labeled as food-safe, with a smooth sealed surface and suitable material:

• Not intended for direct or prolonged food contact.
• Do not use for hot foods or in the microwave, oven, or dishwasher.
