3D printing questions

How do I pay?

Add what you want to the cart and submit your order. We reply within one business day with payment options, including Zelle, Cash App and card, and confirm your total. Printing starts once payment is confirmed.

Are H100 Lab prints safe for young children?

Our products are made for kids 6 and up and adults. Some items contain small parts and are not for children under 3. Always supervise play with whistles and fidgets.

What printer and filament do you use?

Every order is printed on a Bambu Lab printer using genuine Bambu Lab filament. Bambu machines scan the first layer and monitor the print as it runs, and Bambu filament is consistent from spool to spool, so colours and finish match from one order to the next.

What plastic do you print with?

We print with Bambu Lab PLA, a plant-based plastic, and Bambu Lab PETG, a tougher plastic used for items that get dropped or carried outside.
