Question 1

What is the best material for the Pinn vase and how do they differ?

Accepted Answer

The Pinn vase is available in PLA or PETG. PLA is more ecological and ideal for indoor decorations, while PETG offers higher resistance to mechanical damage and higher temperatures, which can be an advantage in more demanding conditions. Both materials are lightweight and ensure a long lifespan with proper care.

Question 2

Can I use the Pinn vase with water and fresh flowers?

Accepted Answer

The Pinn vase is primarily designed as a decorative accessory for dried flowers or as a standalone design element. PLA and PETG materials are not completely watertight, and prolonged contact with water could lead to leakage or material degradation. We recommend it for dry arrangements.

Question 3

What is the care and lifespan of a 3D printed vase?

Accepted Answer

Caring for the Pinn vase is simple. To clean, just use a damp cloth and gently wipe it. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures (above 60°C for PLA) can cause deformation. By following these instructions, the vase will last for many years.

Question 4

Can the Pinn vase withstand outdoor conditions, for example, on a balcony?

Accepted Answer

The Pinn vase is not optimized for long-term outdoor use. Both PLA and PETG materials can be affected by UV radiation and extreme temperature fluctuations over time, potentially leading to color changes or loss of strength. For maximum longevity, we recommend indoor placement.
