Your CATE piece is 3D-printed in PLA and hand-finished in Austin, TX. It's not cheap plastic — it's engineered. Treat it that way.
Heat
Keep it out of a parked car in summer, off radiators, and away from prolonged direct sun. PLA softens under sustained heat.
Water & chemicals
Put on perfume and lotion before your piece, not after. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Don't submerge it.
Storage
Store it on its own — in its pouch or box, away from metal jewelry that can scratch the sculpted details.
Fine details
The voids and thin extensions are part of the design, not an accident. Hold the piece by its body, not by the tips.
Cared for this way, your piece holds its shape and color for years.
