The Process

Step 0.5: Decide what you want!

What would you like printed? Anything from cute Pokémon, a full size wearable Iron Man suit, a bust of Abraham Lincoln or your favorite video game character; the only limit is your imagination! I make functional prints like little toasters for your switch games or a whole dock for your switch itself. Weather it's a personalized prototype part or a custom blind gear, I'm capable of making anything you can dream up! Reach out to me through my email, phone or social pages and I will show you potential models to see what you prefer or show me the models you want and I will give you a free estimate!

Step 1: Place your order

Once you decide what you want printed and/or modeled, order directly from me by either reaching out to me directly for your custom creation or by choosing from one of the already available options on my webshop. The items listed are already sized and sliced to the specifications listed in the description, but all of them have the option of being re sized by contacting me directly. Pricing will reflect size, smaller will be cheaper and vice versa. 

 

Step 2: The Print

After your order is placed, I get to work! I will load up your chosen color and start printing while monitoring the machines to make sure your print comes out perfect. Any inconsistencies or imperfections along the way and I will cancel the print and start it over. Most of the time it goes smooth and the items are printed the same day or the next, but to account for potential printing errors and time for painting, please allow 7-10 days for your item to be shipped to you.

Step 3: Post Processing

Every model printed must undergo a rigorous QC after the completed print. They are each checked for any inconsistencies, if anything is found they are flagged as a re-print until perfect. Even with perfect models, there are support removal processes and brim removal, smoothing, potential priming if going through painting as well; etc. This is also the step that the models will get painted; if the paint option is chosen I would like to hear from you personally so I can show you some QC photos before shipping.

Step 4: Shipping

Each model will be carefully packed and shipped directly to you, unless the local pick up option is selected. I will bubble wrap your product and place in an appropriate sized box to ensure it arrives to you safely. When it arrives, it's all yours! Enjoy your custom creation, and thank you for choosing Carter Creations!
