Products & Quality

Everything you want to know about our 3D-printed products.

Are your products handmade?

Our products are manufactured using professional industrial printers. Each piece is subsequently checked manually and, where necessary, finished by hand.

Can minor irregularities occur?

Yes. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process in which slight surface grooves, layer lines, or small irregularities may be visible. This is not a defect, but a typical characteristic of this technology. Each piece is unique.

What materials do you use?

For most of our shop products, we use PLA and PETG. These are safe, lightweight plastics available in many colors. The material used is specified in each product description.

Are your products suitable for children?

Our products are not toys and are not suitable for small children. Smaller items in particular may break and contain parts that could be swallowed. We recommend keeping the products out of the reach of children under 3 years of age.

Are the surfaces the same for every order?

We strive for the greatest possible consistency, but slight variations in color or surface texture may occur depending on the filament batch. These deviations are generally minimal and do not affect the quality of the product.

Do the colors match the photos?

The product photos are as color-accurate as possible, but may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting conditions. Slight color differences between the photo and the actual product do not constitute a defect.

Are the products durable?

Yes, with proper care and storage. PLA is a lightweight, rigid plastic that is suitable for normal everyday use. PETG offers higher impact and temperature resistance. Both materials are designed for durability.

How are the products checked before shipment?

Each product is visually inspected before packaging. We check for structural defects, verify that the dimensions are correct, and ensure the surface meets our quality standards.

Do the products have a particular smell?

Freshly printed products may have a slight plastic odor, which dissipates quickly. After cooling and packaging, the products are odorless under normal conditions.

What is the difference between the materials used?

PLA is the most common material: lightweight, rigid, and available in many colors. It is ideal for decorative objects and accessories. PETG is more impact- and temperature-resistant and is suitable for products that require higher durability. The choice of material depends on the intended use of the product.

Are your products certified?

The materials we use come from reliable suppliers and comply with European safety standards for plastics. We do not provide specific certifications for individual products, but we guarantee the quality of the materials used.

Care & Maintenance

Tips and instructions to keep your Hexa 3D products in top condition for a long time.

How do I clean my product?

We recommend cleaning the products with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, solvents, or scouring agents, as these may damage the surface.

Are the products water-resistant?

PETG products are moisture-resistant, whereas PLA is more sensitive to prolonged contact with water. In general, we recommend not submerging either material in water for extended periods.

Can I store the products in the sun?

We advise against exposing the products to direct sunlight for extended periods. Heat and UV radiation can cause deformation and color fading, especially in PLA products.

What should I do if a part breaks?

Contact us. In many cases, we can reprint the defective part or find a suitable solution.

Can the products be painted or modified?

Yes, PLA and PETG can be easily painted with acrylic paints. For better results, we recommend sanding the surface slightly beforehand.

Can I clean the product in the dishwasher?

No, we strongly advise against it. The high temperatures in the dishwasher can permanently deform or damage the products, especially those made of PLA.

How should I store the product when not in use?

Store the products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid very warm or humid environments.

Can the product deform due to heat?

Yes. PLA is particularly sensitive to heat and can deform at temperatures as low as 50 to 60°C. PETG is more heat-resistant, but should also not be exposed to direct heat sources such as radiators or dashboards.

Can I use glue for the repair?

Yes, super glue works well on PLA and PETG. Make sure the surfaces are clean and dry before you glue them.

How long do the products last under normal use?

With proper care, our products are designed to last for years. The service life depends on usage, storage, and material. PETG products are generally more durable than those made of PLA.

Personalized Products

Discover how you can design a product exactly according to your wishes.

Can I have a product customized?

Yes, we offer personalization options for selected products in our catalog, for example colors, texts, or details. The available options are indicated directly on the product page.

How long does it take to produce a personalized item?

Personalized products usually require 3 to 7 additional business days compared to standard shipping times, as they are specially made for you.

Can I request a completely custom design?

Yes, you can contact us for a customized project. We review each request individually and will get back to you with a quote and a cost estimate.

Are personalized products excluded from the right of return?

Yes, personalized products generally cannot be returned because they are made to measure. This excludes cases in which the product has a manufacturing defect.

Can I choose the filament color?

Yes, where available you can choose the color from the options provided on the product page. For specific colors not listed in the catalog, you can contact us directly.

Can I submit my own 3D file?

Yes, we accept 3D files in STL or 3MF format. Please contact us in advance to check feasibility and receive a quote.

Are there any additional costs for personalizations?

That depends on the type of personalization. Standard options on the product page are usually included in the price. For more complex customizations, a separate quote will be provided.

Can I see a preview before the product is printed?

For custom-made projects or complex orders, we endeavor to provide a digital preview before production. For standard personalizations, this step is not included.

What is the minimum number of units I must order?

For most personalized products, it is also possible to order a single unit. For larger quantities, we recommend contacting us directly to receive a customized quote.

Can I order a personalization with a specific delivery date?

Yes, if you require a specific delivery date, please let us know when placing your order or in advance. We will do our best to meet your deadline, but we recommend ordering early.

What happens if the result does not meet my expectations?

Your satisfaction is important to us. If the product does not meet what was agreed upon or has a manufacturing defect, contact us and we will find a solution together.
