FAQ
How do I paint the primed models?
Most paints will work! We use a combination of acrylic, airbrush, and spray paint to finish models, as well as a clear coat to seal the paint. Don’t be afraid to try whatever medium you are comfortable with.
How are custom quotes calculated?
Quotes are a calculated based on combination of material costs, time, and level of post-processing involved. From end-to-end, getting a fully painted 3D model from a file on the computer to your hands may take hours to days. The more extra steps involved — designing, sanding, gluing, painting, and prepping to ship is a time consuming process that we take great care in to ensure you have a quality product at the end at a timely manner and within your budget. To be fully transparent, most quotes will be going off a base rate of $20/hour, with an additional $1 -- $10 added per hour for assembly, painting, and final polishing, depending on the size/complexity of the project. Payment will be in two steps: 50% upfront, and 50% upon finishing with a separate invoice at each instance.
What if I change my mind about something mid-project?
Things change, and that’s okay! We will provide regular check-ins/updates for approval on the project as we work on it to make sure everything is to your liking. However, a fee may be added on for major changes, especially if it requires re-starting and/or redoing previous steps. This will reflected in a recalculated quote and a new invoice, once changes are discussed and finalized.
What printers do you use?
The Bambu Lab P1S for FDM printing and Anycubic Mono 5 for SLA printing.
Do you use AI?
Nope. Machines are tools used to help create projects, like a paintbrush or power drill, but at the end of the day everything is still designed, assembled, and finished by a human.
