We are using a lot of products for our 3D Printed Shop, and we found it interesting to gather them for you here !
This page will be updated frequently whenever we are using something new !

Most of the products that we are using can be directly acquired on Amazon France through this list:

Filament and Resin

Sunlu PLA+

We recommend PLA+ at the very least for all cosplay Props for the added strength and heat resistance. Sunlu has a great price and many colours available for their PLA+ line !

Alternative (Overture Brand)

Sunlu ABS-Like and tough resin

Sunlu’s resin provide some of the best strength to price ratio we’ve seen so far for the ABS-Like and Tough Resin.

The ABS-Like is the one we use the most, the Tough Resin is even better when you need that extra strengh but is more costly.

Adhesives and Fasteners

Cyanoacrylate glue

Cyanoacrylate glue has a strong bond and sets quickly and the glue has a long shelf lifetime when opened.

The only drawback is poor flexibility once set, so take that in mind when applying it.

Finishing & Polishing

Deburring tool

A deburring tool is a freely-rotating curve blade, perfect to clean up the edges of your 3D print while following the curves !
Be careful with the blade and wear appropriate eye protection !

Spray putty

This spray putty is one of the easiest to use for a first pass to fill in a lot of the layer lines without spending hours of sanding.
You might find cheaper versions in your local hardware store so check them out as well !

Filler putty

Automotive filler puttys are the best to fill manually the imperfections on your prints. This one part version is good for easy application and quick drying.
You can also find 2 parts filler that will often be cheaper but mixing can be a bit messier.

Painting

Desktop spray booth

We’ve all known the pain of not being able to paint outside because it was too cold or rainy. With this, you just need to crack open the window, let out the exhaust tube and turn on the fans to paint inside !

We recommend getting the biggest size available as they help mitigate any kind of overspray that could happen, especially with spray cans.

WD-40 Lithium Grease

Lithium grease is useful to lubricate bearings and rods on your 3D printers or in general any moving parts. This spray format is useful for an even application
