How to Care for 3D Printed Products (PLA Care Guide)

Simple care tips for 3D printed PLA products — cleaning, sunlight and heat, display and longevity — so your lamps, vases and decor last for years.

Keep it cool and dry

PLA is durable for indoor display but doesn't love high heat. Keep prints out of parked cars and away from direct, prolonged sunlight or hot surfaces.

Cleaning

Dust with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For grime, use a slightly damp cloth — avoid soaking, harsh solvents or the dishwasher.

Display and longevity

Indoors, on a shelf or desk, a well-printed PLA piece holds its detail for years. Use the included bases and USB lighting as intended.
