How to care for a 3D-printed figure
Dust, sunlight and a hot car. Four simple rules that keep your Ninja looking like the day you unboxed it.
1. Dust it dry
A 3D print has fine layers where dust likes to settle. A soft make-up or watercolour brush works best. Move it along the layers, top to bottom, once a week.
2. Sun and heat
PLA starts to soften at around 55–60 °C. That is what a dashboard can reach in July. Sun through a window also dulls the paint over time.
3. Cleaning
If a brush is not enough, wipe the figure with a slightly damp microfibre cloth and dry it right away. What not to do:
- Dishwasher and hot water. The figure can warp.
- Alcohol, acetone and nail polish remover. They dissolve the paint on the eyes and headband.
- A rough sponge. It scratches the matte surface.

A shelf away from windows and radiators is best. If you collect the whole series, keep the numbered boxes. Collectors ask about them when trading.
A brush once a week does more than any cleaning fluid.
