About this toy
Pandas are hard, because the black patches are colour and I only had shape to work with — I had to sculpt the eye patches deep enough that you still read them as a panda. This is the slowest print in the shop, around twelve hours, because a rounded head shows every single layer line if you rush it. It comes off the printer smooth enough that I don't sand it at all.
What's in the box
- One 3D-printed toy, hand-finished and checked by me
- A card with the original pencil sketch it came from
- Recycled paper wrapping — no plastic in the packaging
- A short note about the NZ$1 going to UNICEF

Every toy is printed one at a time, so sizes are approximate and no two come out exactly the same.
Looking after it
- Wipe it with a damp cloth. No dishwasher, please.
- Keep it out of hot cars and off sunny windowsills — PLA goes soft in real heat.
- It's a toy, not a chew toy: not for children under 3, and not for pets.
- If something snaps, email me a photo. I printed it, so I can print you another one.
