Care Guide

How to maintain and preserve your 3D printed art piece for years to come.

General Care

Cleaning

Keep your piece looking pristine with regular, gentle cleaning:

  • Use a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth for dusting
  • For deeper cleaning, use slightly damp cloth with water only
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials
  • Pat dry immediately if any moisture is used

Display

Proper placement ensures your piece stays beautiful:

  • Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading
  • Avoid areas with extreme temperature changes
  • Display on stable surfaces away from edges
  • Keep away from moisture and humidity

Handling

Handle your piece with care to maintain its integrity:

  • Always hold from the base or thickest parts
  • Avoid touching delicate details or thin sections
  • Clean hands before handling to prevent oil transfer
  • Move slowly and deliberately when relocating

Material-Specific Care

PLA / PLA+

Our most common material. Durable and easy to maintain. Avoid heat above 140°F (60°C). Can be gently washed with room temperature water if needed.

Resin

High-detail material with smooth finish. More fragile than PLA. Keep away from prolonged UV exposure. Handle delicate details with extra care.

What to Avoid

  • Never use alcohol, acetone, or chemical cleaners
  • Avoid leaving in hot cars or near heat sources
  • Don't submerge in water for extended periods
  • Never use abrasive scrubbers or rough cloths
  • Avoid dropping or subjecting to impact

Long-Term Storage

If you need to store your piece temporarily:

  • Keep in original packaging if available
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight
  • Use acid-free tissue paper for wrapping if needed
  • Avoid stacking pieces on top of each other
