​
Q: How long will it take for my project to arrive at my door after I approve the quote?
​
A: It highly depends on your project. The bigger the project the longer it will take to print and process. The further away you live the longer it'll take to ship. When you send me a project model I'll send you an approximate date of completion. It's always good to assume the project will be "late" by a few days in case any misprints or other problems arise. Please understand I put special care into each project. I print each piece individually and I hand paint everything. I promise to make your waiting worth it.
​
​
Q: Are the projects you make safe for combat?
​
A: Absolutely not. The projects I make are meant to be props for cosplay or display pieces. Please do not use my projects as weapons in any way. Using my projects in an unintended manner can result in severe damage to the project, property, or in the worst case scenario someone gets injured.
​
​
Q: What are your printer settings?
​
A: It depends on the project. I often print projects with ten percent infill to make sure they're stable, yet solid. I never go under ten percent infill, but I will go over ten percent if I think a certain piece needs more stability for whatever reason. I use 0.2mm layer heights one hundred percent of the time, and my printers are configured for PLA plastic.
​
​
Q: What kind of paints do you use?
​
A: I most often use three different brands of acrylic paints to make your projects look great! I use AppleBarrel, Folkart, and Decoart brand paints. I hand-paint every project which makes these three brands excellent choices.
​
​
Q: Is there a size limit to the projects you can make?
​
A: Theoretically, no. Obviously the bigger the project, the more it will cost to produce and ship. I haven't yet encountered a project that I would consider "too big" or "too small." As long as you're willing to pay the extra money for the extra size almost anything is possible!
​
​
Q: Do you only print swords?
​
A: The reason I started 3D printing is because I wanted to make some cool prop swords, but that's NOT the only thing I'll print. I'll pretty much accept commissions for any weapon model. This includes: swords, (or any other bladed weapon of any length), hammers, clubs, spears, maces, etc. I will not accept random art projects or sculptures or assorted models that clearly aren't weapons.
​
​
Q: Do your projects function?
​
A: My projects function as PROPS and DISPLAY PIECES only. Any bladed weapon I make will not not come close to the cutting power of a real blade. These projects are meant to look good, not injure another person. If there are any rotating or articulated pieces within the model, the movement must be planned out within the model, otherwise the project you will receive will most likely be one solid piece.
​
​
Q: Do you do returns and refunds?
​
A: No. These projects are specifically requested by you, the buyer, and are thus made specifically for you. If a project becomes lost or damaged in the mail I'm not responsible for it.
​
​
Q: Is there a limit to how many projects I can order?
​
A: Not at all! Just don't expect them all to arrive at the same time.
​
​
Q: Can I support your work without commissioning a project?
​
A: Of course! Check out my RedBubble shop to purchase IPrintSwords merchandise! All profits from RedBubble go directly into future projects and the improvement of IPrintSwords equipment and quality.
