Maintenance and Care Guide: How to Properly Care for Your 3D-Printed Connor Hidden Blade

Your Connor Hidden Blade is made from high-quality PLA (Polylactic Acid) material through 3D printing. While this material offers excellent appearance and strength, to ensure its long-term optimal condition and extend its lifespan, we’ve prepared some simple maintenance tips for you.

1. Avoid Direct Sunlight

PLA material is sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. Prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially direct sunlight, may cause oxidation, which can affect the appearance and strength of the product. To protect your Connor Hidden Blade, we recommend storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

2. Cleaning and Maintenance

When cleaning your Connor Hidden Blade, use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid using any rough cleaning tools. You can gently wipe it with mild soapy water, making sure not to leave water spots or stains. Avoid using harsh cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the PLA material.

3. Storage Environment

To prevent material deformation or aging, it’s recommended to store your Hidden Blade in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Avoid placing it in hot or high-humidity areas to ensure the stability of the material.

4. Avoid Shocks and Excessive Pulling

Although PLA material is relatively strong, it is also somewhat brittle. Avoid subjecting the product to sudden impacts or excessive bending to prevent damage or cracks. Keeping it intact ensures that your Connor Hidden Blade continues to function properly for a long time.

5. Regular Inspections

Regularly check your Hidden Blade to ensure all parts are securely fastened and in good condition. Especially after prolonged use, check for any loose components and inspect for cracks or damage.

6. Avoid High Temperatures

Although PLA performs well at room temperature, it has a relatively low melting point. Avoid exposing your Hidden Blade to high-temperature environments, such as direct contact with hot objects or extremely hot surroundings, to prevent the material from deforming.

7. Dust Protection

To keep the product clean, regularly wipe the surface with a soft cloth to remove dust and stains. If not in use, we recommend placing it in a box or protective bag to prevent dust accumulation.

Conclusion

By following these simple maintenance steps, you can ensure that your Connor Hidden Blade stays in optimal condition for a long time, allowing you to continue enjoying its perfect appearance and functionality. If you encounter any issues during use, please feel free to contact our service team, and we will be happy to assist you.
