Guides

Full-colour (AMS) printing or paintable monochrome: which to choose?

Most of our models exist in two versions: full-colour, ready to display, or monochrome, to paint or match your decor. This guide helps you decide.

The common ground: PLA, printed to order

Whichever version you pick, the piece is printed in PLA in our French workshop, on demand, after your order. The difference is all about colour: built into the print, or left in your hands.

Full-colour (AMS): ready to display

Full-colour printing combines several filaments of different colours during the print, thanks to a multi-filament system (AMS). The colours are in the material itself — not a paint that can chip — and the piece is ready to display on arrival. The safe choice for a gift.

Monochrome: freedom

The monochrome version prints in the colour of your choice: match it to your interior, or use it as a painting base for a creative project. It is also on some of these pieces that engraving is available.

What about resin, seen elsewhere?

Resin printing, used by other makers, relies on a different technology (photopolymerisation). It excels at very fine detail, but generally produces pieces that are more brittle, UV-sensitive and chemically post-processed. Our PLA filament pieces favour sturdiness and stability for everyday display.

How to choose in practice

Risk-free gift or zero effort wanted: full-colour. Creative project or the urge to paint: light monochrome. Decor to match precisely: monochrome in the exact colour of your choice. When in doubt, the full-colour version always lands. Browse the collections
