How They're Made

Every time a Multicolour 3D Printer switches colours it does a lil' waste extrusion lovingly known as a 'Printer Poop'.
There can be hundreds of changes per print so to combat this waste, Cody keeps the extrusions, sorts them into palettes & crushes them into flat sheets in a heat press.
Once these sheets are made, she laser cuts them with shapes of her design & assembles them into earrings!
This is a unique process & hopefully a fun story to accompany the compliments for your cute new earrings!
