Important Product Notes

1. This product is a custom 3D-printed item. Excellent toughness is achieved through precise 3D printing manufacturing techniques.
2. Slight layer lines and typical print textures are normal processing characteristics of 3D printing, not quality defects.
3. If minor white cosmetic residue appears on the surface due to tension, gently heating it with a heat gun or a lighter will easily restore its original pristine appearance.
4. If the product does not meet your expectations, please contact us via email BEFORE opening a return process on eBay. I will gladly arrange a completely satisfactory solution for you.
