Hexagon Tracing / Drawing Template - PLA Bioplastic 3D Printed

Hexagon Drawing Template

Sizes:
Small: 3 Inch Height
Medium: 4 Inch Height
Large: 5 Inch Height

All order for 3D printed items will be made to order. I do not have them pre-printed to save on storage space. I will print your order in the order in which it is received. I expect to be able to print your order within 24 hours of receiving it unless I receive many orders at once or large orders which take more than a day to print.

Each of my 3D printed items were designed by me in CAD software and rendered into 3D models to be printed. I print all of my 3D prints on my Ender 3 Pro 3D printer at home. I have several colors available in PLA filament so if you'd like a different color printed for your order, please let me know! My costs are based on time it takes to print an object / model and amount of PLA filament used for each job.

For custom logo design my costs include the design time and rendering new 3D models in CAD software. I would prefer your logo image file to be in .svg format but I can work with a .jpg or .png as well. I will message you to provide your custom logo image after you place your order or you can send it to me through Etsy messaging.

This brush rest pictured will have 3 slots for brushes to rest on. The shape is a half cylinder shape with cut outs for the brushes to rest in. The log is recessed into the side of the brush rest. My MrsHandPainted logo of the hand with a heart on the palm is the basic listing.

What is PLA, and what is it used for?
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is different than most thermoplastic polymers in that it is derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugar cane. Most plastics, by contrast, are derived from the distillation and polymerization of nonrenewable petroleum reserves. Plastics that are derived from biomass (e.g. PLA) are known as “bioplastics.”

Polylactic Acid is biodegradable and has characteristics similar to polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polystyrene (PS). It can be produced from already existing manufacturing equipment (those designed and originally used for petrochemical industry plastics). This makes it relatively cost efficient to produce. Accordingly, PLA has the second largest production volume of any bioplastic (the most common typically cited as thermoplastic starch).

There are a vast array of applications for Polylactic Acid. Some of the most common uses include plastic films, bottles, and biodegradable medical devices (e.g. screws, pins, rods, and plates that are expected to biodegrade within 6-12 months). For more on medical device prototypes (both biodegradable and permanent) read here. PLA constricts under heat and is thereby suitable for use as a shrink wrap material. Additionally, the ease with which Polylactic Acid melts allows for some interesting applications in 3D printing (namely “lost PLA casting” - read more below). On the other hand, its low glass transition temperature makes many types of PLA (for example, plastic cups) unsuitable to hold hot liquid.
