Frequently asked questions
What kind of products do you sell?
We create 3D printed items that range from fun and fidgety to functional and gift-worthy. Think dragons, gadgets, and designs that probably started as a “this might be a dumb idea…” moment and turned out surprisingly awesome.
What is 3D printing?
3D printing is the process of building objects layer by layer using melted filament. It’s kind of like a robot with a hot glue gun… but way more precise and way less chaotic.
Are your items handmade?
Yes! Every item is printed, cleaned, and inspected by us. While machines help with the process, each piece is made-to-order or handled with care before it reaches you.
How long does it take to process my order?
Processing times vary depending on the item, but most orders are made and shipped within 3-5 business days.
3D printing takes time (we’re literally building your item layer by layer), but we promise it’s worth the wait.
Are your products durable?
Yes, but they’re not indestructible.
Our items are made from durable filament, but they can still break under extreme pressure, heat, or if your dog decides it’s a snack.
Treat them well, and they’ll last a long time.
Are your products safe for kids?
Some items are great for kids, but others may have small parts or moving pieces.
We recommend supervision for younger children and using your best judgment based on the item.
