FAQ

What is included with a Shellax figure?

You will receive a white, unpainted, and pre-printed Shellax figure made of PLA+ in the selected model. The figure is carefully inspected and securely packaged before shipping. Paints, brushes, and other crafting supplies are not included.

Can I paint the 3D-printed figure myself?

Yes, the white Shellax figures are ideal as DIY figures for self-painting. Acrylic paints or acrylic markers work best. For particularly even colors, you can first use a primer and then a transparent protective varnish.

What material are the Shellax figures made of?

The figures are produced in Germany from white PLA+ using 3D printing. PLA+ is a lightweight and dimensionally stable material that is well-suited for decorative figures and creative painting projects. Fine layer lines may be visible due to 3D printing and are not a quality defect.

How big are the 3D-printed figures?

The exact size varies depending on the Shellax model. Most figures are approximately 8 to 10 cm tall and are suitable as desk decor, shelf decor, collector's items, or personal DIY gifts. The exact dimensions can be found in the respective product description.

Are Shellax figures toys or decoration?

Shellax figures are decorative and collectible figures and are not tested children's toys. They are suitable for painting, collecting, gifting, and as decoration for desks or shelves. Children should only paint and use the figures under adult supervision.

Will there be more series later?

Yes. Shellax is established as a brand for various 3D-printed figures and series. Currently, you can find the first Shellax series in the shop; more models may be added later.
