Important Information Before Ordering

What to Know Before Creating Your Custom 3D Figurine

Every custom figurine is individually modeled and produced based on your photo. Because full-color 3D printing has certain technical and structural limitations, some details may need to be adjusted to ensure better printability, durability, and overall quality.

Please review the following information before placing your order. Our goal is to help you choose the right size and understand what to expect from your finished figurine.

1. Color Accuracy & Metallic Effects

Full-color 3D printing reproduces a wide range of colors, but it cannot replicate every color or material effect exactly.

• Metallic Colors: True metallic finishes, such as gold, silver, chrome, and other reflective metal effects, cannot be reproduced as actual metallic surfaces. These colors may be approximated using non-metallic printed colors.

• Color Variations: Certain shades, particularly brown and other complex colors, may appear slightly different from your reference photo or digital preview.

• Screen Differences: Preview images may look different across phones, tablets, and computer monitors due to differences in brightness, display settings, and color calibration.

We do our best to reproduce your reference as closely as possible, but slight color differences between the preview and the physical figurine are normal.

2. Glasses & Delicate Frames

Glasses can be particularly challenging to reproduce because their frames and connecting parts are extremely thin and fragile, making them vulnerable to damage during printing and handling.

To improve durability, we may thicken and reinforce the glasses frames. As a result, the finished glasses may look slightly thicker than those in your original photo or preview.

Prefer your figurine without glasses? If you are concerned about the appearance of reinforced frames, please contact us before production to discuss removing the glasses from your design.

3. Large Props on Small Figurines

For 7 cm and 9 cm figurines, oversized props generally cannot be reproduced at their original scale. Large objects may exceed the available printing space or be unsuitable for a small figurine's proportions.

We do not produce large props or environmental objects such as:

• Sofas and large furniture

• Race cars and automobiles

• Motorcycles

• Full-size horses

• Wheelchairs

• Walls and other large architectural structures

If your reference photo includes these objects, they may need to be omitted or simplified. Please contact us before ordering if a particular prop is essential to your design.

4. Thin Details May Be Thickened

Extremely thin or delicate features can be difficult to print reliably and may break during handling or shipping.

To improve structural strength, our designers may thicken or simplify certain elements, including:

• Individual hair strands

• Thin whips

• Narrow accessories

• Small protruding details

These adjustments help reduce the risk of damage, but some details may look slightly different from the original photo or preview.

5. Glitter, Sequins & Lace Details

Glitter and sequins: Standard full-color 3D printing cannot reproduce actual sparkling or reflective sequins and glitter materials. These details may be represented through printed colors and patterns, but they will not have the same shine or texture as the original materials.

Lace: Intricate lace, mesh, and fine fabric patterns may appear softer or less defined, particularly on smaller figurines. The final clarity depends on the complexity of the pattern and the selected size.

For designs featuring elaborate clothing details, we recommend choosing a larger figurine size whenever possible.

6. Transparent Veils & Sheer Clothing

Transparent bridal veils, sheer fabrics, and see-through clothing cannot always be reproduced with their original transparency.

For these elements, we may use a solid-color representation instead. The finished figurine may therefore differ from the preview in areas where the original design relies on transparency or layered fabric.

If a transparent veil or sheer garment is an essential part of your design, please contact us before production to discuss possible alternatives.

7. Tattoo Details & Recommended Sizes

Tattoo visibility depends on the figurine's overall size, the tattoo's dimensions, and the complexity of its design.

Small tattoos and intricate linework may lose clarity on smaller figurines because there is less space to reproduce fine details.

For better tattoo visibility, we recommend 12 cm, 15 cm, or larger figurines. Larger models generally provide more room for tattoo patterns and help preserve their visual definition.

Please note that exact reproduction of every tattoo detail cannot be guaranteed, even on larger models.

8. Separately Printed Accessories & Assembly

Some accessories and connecting parts are better produced separately to improve printability and structural strength.

Examples may include:

• Swords, knives, and similar handheld props

• Certain arms, hands, or other connecting parts

• Small accessories that are difficult to print securely as part of a single model

When necessary, these components will be manufactured separately and packaged with your figurine.

We will include glue for assembly, allowing you to attach the separate pieces after receiving your order. Please handle small components carefully during assembly and follow the adhesive instructions.

9. Protective Film on the Transparent Acrylic Base

If your order includes a transparent acrylic display base, you may notice a thin protective film covering both the front and back surfaces.

This film helps protect the acrylic from dust, fingerprints, and minor surface marks during handling and shipping.

Please peel off the protective film from both sides before displaying your figurine to reveal the clear acrylic surface underneath.

10. How Pet Figurine Size Is Measured

For custom pet figurines, the selected size is based on the longest dimension of the finished pet model, rather than height alone.

Depending on your pet's pose and body shape, the longest dimension may refer to its length, height, or another measurement.

Please note that the tail may affect the overall figurine size. A long tail extending behind or above the body may become the longest dimension of the finished model.

When choosing a size, consider your pet's overall shape and pose rather than its standing height alone.

11. Flowers & Thin Petals

Flowers and floral accessories often have thin, delicate petals that can be difficult to print reliably at small scales.

To improve structural strength and reduce the risk of damage, we may thicken the petals during model preparation. This can make the finished flowers appear fuller or slightly different from the original preview.

If the exact flower shape or petal appearance is important to your design, please contact us before production. We will be happy to discuss the details and possible alternatives.

12. Figurine Size & Detail Quality

In general, larger figurines allow for clearer details and better visual expression.

A larger model provides more space to reproduce facial features, hairstyles, clothing textures, tattoos, and other intricate elements. Smaller figurines may require certain details to be simplified or enlarged to remain visible and structurally sound.

For more detailed and expressive results, we recommend considering 12 cm, 15 cm, or larger sizes, especially for realistic styles or designs with complex details.

You can also browse the customer reviews on our website to see real examples of finished figurines and compare the level of detail at different sizes.

Please keep in mind that the final result also depends on your reference photo, pose, design complexity, and printing limitations.
