Around 1~2 weeks is required to build a Ray Gun, maybe 3 for the Wunderwaffe DG-2.
However, some projects take anywhere from 1~12 months to develop a properly functioning product.
This includes:
3D Modeling
Testing 3D printed prototypes
Writing the code
Research
Gathering Materials
Soldering electronics
Lots of learning from trial and error.
Our products are primarily made from PLA, an eco-friendly 3D printer filament. PLA stands for polylactic acid and is bio degradable. PLA is an organic thermoplastic monomer that is manufactured from the extraction of corn starch or sugar cane! Thermoplastic Polyurethanes, or TPU, is also used in our flexible products! We also use SLA resin printing for some of our clear products to achieve that glass look!
PLA is a sturdy hard plastic, where TPU is a more rubbery plastic. Products in PLA will be ridged and break if bent too far, where TPU will be more squishy and bend a bit.
Shipping can be a rough journey for packages. Many products are too delicate to ship in one piece and we want to ensure that our customers enjoy unbroken products. We will always ensure pieces are easy to glue together or include support rods where necessary.
