Keep it cool.
Give PLA a spot indoors, away from strong direct sun, heaters and hot cars. Heat can change its shape. Skip the dishwasher, microwave and hot water.
A little care goes a long way
Keep your prints
happy.
Three easy habits for PLA pieces. Follow any specific care notes supplied with your item too.
Go gently.
Pick up your piece by its main body rather than a thin detail. Avoid drops, hard squeezing or bending. Ease moving joints through their natural range without forcing them.
A soft cloth does it.
Dust with a soft cloth, or wipe gently with a slightly damp one and dry afterwards. Keep clicker mechanisms and metal fittings dry. Avoid soaking, abrasive pads and harsh cleaners.
A small note for little hands.
Choose items for the intended age and use. Small parts and broken pieces can be choking hazards. Supervise children, keep small pieces away from under-threes and pets, and stop using anything cracked or sharp.
Unsure about a little line?
Fine layer lines and a small seam are normal. Cracks or splitting need a closer look.
