Our 3D printers read a blueprint file (.stl) that instructs the printer how to build the part. The printer heats and extrudes Polylactic Acid (PLA) – a biodegradable substance derived from plant-based material such as sugars or starch – in a series of layers, creating one layer on top of another until the model is complete. This process often takes several hours to finish depending on the size, density, precision, and other part variables.

Some prints may require supports – additional PLA structures designed
to be cut away after the part has been constructed – in order for
overhangs and other precarious parts to be created without skewing the parts dimensions.

PLA stands for Polylactic acid, which is a thermoplastic monomer derived from renewable, organic sources such as processed corn or sugar cane (although most PLAs use corn). PLA production is different from most plastics, which are produced using fossil fuels through the distillation and polymerization of petroleum.

Despite the raw material differences, PLA can be produced using the same equipment as petrochemical plastics, making PLA manufacturing processes relatively cost efficient. PLA is the second most produced bioplastic (after thermoplastic starch) and has similar characteristics to polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polystyrene (PS), as well as being biodegradable.

Please keep in mind that 3D printed items contain layer lines, which are
completely normal and a part of the production process. 

Temperature color changing filaments change color depending on the thermal
temperature and length of time of exposure. Most temperature color
change filaments will change between two or more colors.

Multi, dual/triple colors do not print the same pattern every time and will not match the pictures exactly - It
will always have an amazing color effect!

All of our 3D Prints are printed in PLA. Due to the nature of PLA, do not allow prints to be in direct sunlight for long periods of time, and do not leave in extreme heat (such as the inside of a vehicle) or extreme cold for long periods of time.

For cleaning: gently clean with soap and water, or remove dust with a can of compressed air (such as those used for electronics).
