At Co3D, we are committed to delivering high-quality props and collectibles designed for lasting use. To maintain the quality and longevity of your products, follow the guidelines below:
1. General Care for 3D Printed Props
1.1 Handling
- Handle your props with care, especially around delicate or detailed sections.
- Avoid dropping or applying force, as it may damage fragile parts.
1.2 Temperature Sensitivity
- Keep products away from extreme temperatures.
- Avoid heat: High temperatures can warp the material.
- Avoid cold: Low temperatures may cause brittleness or cracking.
1.3 Moisture Protection
- Keep your props dry; moisture can weaken materials or damage finishes.
- Avoid submerging in water or exposing to high humidity.
1.4 Cleaning Tips
- Use a soft, dry cloth to dust and clean.
- For dirt or smudges, use a lightly damp cloth—avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.
2. Electronics and Battery Care (Arc Reactors, LED Lights)
2.1 Battery Replacement
- Replace batteries only with the recommended type to prevent damage.
- Ensure proper orientation when replacing batteries.
2.2 Power Management
- Power off your electronic props when not in use to extend battery life.
2.3 Storage Guidelines
- Store electronic items in a dry, cool environment to avoid moisture buildup or heat damage.
3. Caring for Moving Parts
3.1 Gentle Use
- If your prop has movable components, operate them gently to prevent wear and tear.
- Avoid excessive or repeated use of force on delicate mechanisms.
4. Custom-Painted and Finished Props
4.1 Paint Care
- Avoid scratching or rubbing painted surfaces with abrasive materials.
- Handle painted props carefully to prevent chipping or fading.
4.2 Long-Term Storage
- Keep painted props in a dust-free environment, such as a display case, to protect them from dust, UV light, and other environmental factors.
5. Shipping and Storage Recommendations
5.1 Proper Packaging
- When transporting or storing, use the original packaging or similarly protective materials to prevent damage during transit.
5.2 Humidity Control
- Store props in a dry, climate-controlled area to avoid moisture damage, especially with electronic components or painted surfaces.
