🦀✨ Hermit Crab Enclosure ✨🦀
Materials & Care
All of our products are 3D printed using high-quality PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament. PLA is an eco-friendly, plant-based, and biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources like corn starch. It’s incredibly durable, lightweight, and completely safe for your home and family.
How to care for your print:
- Keep it cool: PLA is sensitive to extreme heat. To prevent warping, keep your item out of prolonged direct summer sunlight, boiling water, or hot cars.
- Cleaning: Simply wipe down with a damp cloth or wash in lukewarm soapy water. Do not put in the dishwasher!
- Safety note: While our items are sturdy, they are not indestructible. Some articulated creatures or detailed décor pieces have small parts and may pose a choking hazard for young children. Adult supervision is recommended for the little ones!
The 3D Printed Difference
Every item at The Print Paddock is crafted using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing technology. This means your product isn’t mass-produced in a factory mold; it is built locally from the ground up, layer by layer, specifically for you.
Because of this unique manufacturing process, your item will have its own distinct character. You will notice fine "layer lines" or tiny texturing on the surface, and occasionally a small seam where the printer started and stopped a layer. These are completely normal characteristics of 3D printing and are proof that your item was individually crafted rather than injection-molded. We calibrate our machines meticulously to ensure the highest quality finish possible!
Production & Shipping
We are a small, proud Aussie business, and every single order is printed fresh on-demand just for you!
- Production Time: Because your item is made-to-order, please allow 2 to 5 business days for us to print, assemble, and quality-check your order before it leaves our workshop. (Large items or custom colors may take slightly longer).
- Shipping: We ship Australia-wide! Once printed, your order will be carefully packaged in secure, eco-friendly packaging and dispatched.
- Custom Requests: Did you order a custom colorway? We will keep you updated if we need to order a specific filament color to fulfill your request.
