FAQs
1. What materials are used in your 3D printed products?
We're really proud to say that our products are crafted using bioplastics like PLA (polylactic acid) a popular and user-friendly 3D printing material.
Some key points to ensure their longevity and appearance are:
- Avoid High Temperatures: PLA has a lower melting temperature compared to some other plastics. Avoid exposing PLA prints to high temperatures (above 60 degrees Celsius), such as leaving them in a hot car or placing them near heat sources.
- Avoid Prolonged Sun Exposure: Extended exposure to direct sunlight can cause PLA to degrade over time. If you plan to use PLA prints outdoors, they may change colour and become more brittle.
- Clean with Mild Soaps: PLA prints can be cleaned with mild soaps and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they may damage the PLA material.
- Avoid Abrasive Cleaning Materials: PLA surfaces can be scratched by abrasive materials. Use soft cloths or sponges for cleaning to maintain the appearance of the print.
- Avoid Heavy Stress: While PLA is a relatively strong material, it may not have the same durability as some other plastics. Avoid subjecting PLA prints to heavy stress or loads.
You can always check in with us for more specific recommendations for the best care practices, as different PLA formulations may have slightly different characteristics.
