🚫 Why you shouldn’t buy cheap 3D prints from Kmart, discount stores or Temu etc

Sure, they look tempting – but here’s the truth:
✨ They’re mass-produced in overseas print farms.
✨ They use the cheapest filament possible with very low infill – which makes them fragile and easy to break.
✨ Many are made from stolen designs, with no credit (or payment) to the original artists.

When you buy from a small business like mine, you’re not just buying a print – you’re buying:
✔️ High-quality materials
✔️ Stronger, long-lasting prints with proper infill
✔️ Ethically made designs – I purchase my models and pay ongoing licensing fees to support the original creators

So yes, handmade prints may cost a little more than the mass-produced “rubbish” – but you’re getting something unique, durable, and ethically created. 💜

💌 Update for our US friends 💌

We’ve had to make the tough call to pause US shipping for now due to the uncertainty around new import tariffs. The last thing we want is surprise fees for our customers.

✨ Good news: shipping within Australia & everywhere else is running as normal!

We believe this pause will be temporary, and your support in the meantime means the world. Thank you for continuing to show love to small businesses like ours. 🐓💖
