So you just purchased a print! Here are a few tips for you to keep it in great shape!

Storage: Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the quality of your PLA prints. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as exposure to heat and UV rays can cause warping and degradation over time. Consider investing in airtight containers or sealed bags to protect your prints from dust and moisture.

Cleaning: Use a mild detergent and warm water to gently clean the surface, avoiding harsh chemicals that may damage the PLA material. For stubborn residue, consider using a soft brush or sponge to avoid scratching the print.

Display and Use: Avoid placing them near heat sources or in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause deformation or fading over time. If using your prints for functional purposes, such as mechanical parts or prototypes, be mindful of their limitations and avoid subjecting them to excessive stress or strain.
