Keep it cool
Most prints are PLA, which softens in high heat. Keep them out of hot cars, away from stoves and out of hours of direct afternoon sun.
Cleaning
Dust with a soft, dry brush (a makeup brush works well). For marks, wipe with a cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then dry. Don't use the dishwasher, hot water or strong solvents like acetone.
Vases and planters
Our vases are great with dried or artificial flowers. For fresh flowers or soil, ask us for a PETG print with a sealed finish, or use a small glass or plastic insert.
If something breaks
Small breaks can usually be fixed with a drop of super glue (cyanoacrylate). Hold the pieces together for 30 seconds. For anything bigger, message us. We can often reprint just the broken part.
