Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ: Caring for Your 3D Printed Figurines
General Care and Cleaning
Q: How should I clean my 3D printed figurine?
A: Gently dust your figurine with a soft, dry brush or cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid soaking the figurine. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface.
Handling and Durability
Q: Are Porcupine Hallow's figurines fragile?
A: While our figurines are designed to be durable, some delicate parts (like dragon wings or small appendages) may be more susceptible to breakage. Handle your figurine with care, especially when moving or cleaning it.
Environmental Considerations
Q: Can environmental factors affect my figurine?
A: Yes, prolonged exposure to heat, direct sunlight, or high humidity can affect the color and flexibility of your figurine. Display them in a stable environment for best results.
Customization and Painting
Q: Can I paint my 3D printed figurine?
A: Yes! Our figurines can be customized with acrylic paints. We recommend using a primer first for better paint adhesion. Remember that painting may affect the flexibility of articulated parts.
