While we try to accurately represent each item and its colors, pictures can still be subjective based on factors such as lighting (intensity and hue) or due to specialty filaments. Silky/glossy colors are especially prone to hue-shifts based on lighting as their reflective surface catches the light differently, tricking the eye into seeing different hues. There are also dual or tricolors that appear to be a different color depending on what angle the item is being viewed. This can make it especially tricky as even as the manufacture, we cannot always control if the same colors will appear on the front, or back of an item.

To begin, we print everything we sell in-house to assure the print settings meet our standard for durability. Settings like wall count (how thick the outer walls are) and infill % (how much structure is inside), both are crucial in determining an item's durability. That being said, one way to reduce manufacturing cost is to manipulate these settings to use as little material as possible. However, this creates a weaker product that is prone to breaking or warping which is why we print for durability. Though it does often mean we are by no means the cheapest option.

Furthermore, we inspect everything that comes of our printers for defects that impact the items durability or aesthetic.

Now, that is not to say that all products are perfect and free of imperfections or flaws. Some flaws can pass inspection if they are inconspicuous enough and do not jeopardize the integrity of the print. Though if there are enough, they too will be pulled from inventory.

The reason for allowing some flaws through is to help keep cost down as zero flaws mean more waste and more waste means higher costs. As we are able, we will include some examples of acceptably flawed products for greatly transparency as we never want anyone to be unpleasantly surprised by one of our products.

Almost all of our items are printed out of a biodegradable, cornstarch based, plastic called PLA. PLA is heat tolerant to roughy 140°F though color, sheen, and other additives can change that some.

If heated above 140°F, it can become soft and pliable. It should NOT be handled when soft as it can easily become disformed. As it cools, it will regain its rigidity.

Car Disclaimer: it's recommended to use sun shades to protect both your Moos (and interior) from excess heat and UV. Both can shorten the life of 3D printed items and accelerate its biodegradable nature.

While items manufactured from PLA are still relatively new, it should be a safe assumption to say they will last anywhere from 5-10 years, though they could last longer. They could also become brittle and break sooner if left to the elements due to their biodegradable nature.

As of right now, the shortest known product life for PLA based products was reported at 2-years before the item became brittle. This was due to higher than average humidity and UV though. This is why if your Moos are going to be left in a vehicle, we highly recommend the use of a sunshade to prolong the life of your Moos.
