Frequently Asked Questions

📍 Where do I collect my completed prints?
All physical local pick-ups are handled directly from our main operations point at 25 Buffel Street, Aggeneys. Please wait for your WhatsApp completion notification before arriving for collection.
🚚 Can you ship items if I am outside Aggeneys?
Yes, absolutely! If you select standard shipping at checkout, we will secure your components and email you an active tracking waybill number the moment the courier package leaves our facility.
🧩 What if my file has structural or slicing errors?
Don’t worry! We personally review the mechanical stability of every print queue entry. If an uploaded model requires print bed adjustment, unexpected supports, or optimization updates, we will contact you directly via WhatsApp before launching the printers.
