Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your products different from mass-produced décor?
Most items in our shop are made to order — 3D printed in the UK specifically for you, in the colour you choose. A small number of popular pieces are kept in ready stock for quick dispatch. Either way, nothing here is mass-produced or imported in bulk. You're getting something genuinely crafted by a small independent UK maker.
Why does 3D printed décor cost more than I might expect?
Because it's not injection-moulded in a factory overseas. Each piece is printed layer by layer, taking hours to produce, using premium PLA filament — a plant-based, eco-friendly material. You're paying for craft, precision, and a product that's been thoughtfully made — not pulled off a shelf.
What is PLA and why do you use it?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a plant-based bioplastic derived from renewable sources like corn starch. It's the material of choice for high-quality decorative 3D printing — it holds fine detail beautifully, produces a smooth finish, and is more environmentally responsible than petroleum-based plastics.
Are the designs exclusive?
Our designs are licensed from independent designers through the Hive 3D Printing Marketplace, meaning each design is commercially authorised and not freely available for anyone to print and sell. You're buying from an official licence holder — not a grey-market print.
Will my item look exactly like the photos?
We work hard to ensure our photography accurately represents each product. Because items are made to order rather than mass-produced, there may be very minor variances in surface texture or layer lines — this is a natural characteristic of FDM printing and part of what makes each piece unique. It is not a defect.
How long will it take to arrive?
Most orders are dispatched within 2–3 business days. During busy periods please allow up to 5 business days for production. If there's any delay we'll be in touch. A small number of items, such as the PS5 Controller Stand, are available for quick dispatch from ready stock. We ship via Royal Mail Tracked 48, so you can follow your parcel every step of the way. You'll receive tracking information as soon as your order is on its way.
Can I request a custom colour?
We offer a wide range of colours across our collections. If you have something specific in mind that isn't listed, get in touch — we're happy to discuss options where possible.
Are your lamps safe to use?
Yes. Our USB LED lamps are powered by 5V USB only and use the Bambu Lab LED Kit 001, designed by Lin & Gleason — a quality, tested component. All lamps are for decorative indoor use. Full safety information is included with every lamp order. They are not suitable for outdoor use or for children under 3 years.
What if my item arrives damaged?
We package everything carefully, but if something arrives damaged please get in touch within 48 hours with photos and we'll make it right. Your satisfaction matters — we stand behind what we make.
Do you ship internationally?
We currently ship within the UK only via Royal Mail Tracked 48. If you're outside the UK, you may be able to find our products on eBay where international shipping is available.
