Quality Assurance
Our team optimizes every print — you focus on selling.
Wearable items must be comfortable for extended use. Sand all contact surfaces smooth. Test-wear for 2+ hours before listing.
Design for standard sizes where applicable. Hair clips: 60–80mm. Sunglasses arms: 135–145mm. Watch straps: 20mm/22mm lugs.
TPU is essential for flex items (watch bands, hair ties, flexible bracelets). PLA accessories snap under repetitive flex stress.
Color variety drives sales in accessories. List the same design in 5–8 colors. Bundle 3-packs of complementary colors at a 15% discount.
Lightweight is premium in wearables. Optimize wall thickness and infill to minimize weight while maintaining durability.
