This lid was designed to go with our Stackable Tea Bag Containers, and will be sized to match the container you are purchasing. You are able to purchase this lid to have a Plain Surface or an Inlayed Surface. Lid Inlay Designs are images we are able to print on the top layer of your lid. The limitations of this are that the image cannot have shading, it must be a vector (SVG) image with crisp edges. Depending on the printer we use (which depends on the container size that is purchased), we are able to reliably accommodate lid requests that contain 2 to 8 colors. Please inquire if your desired lid design includes more than 8 colors as we do not mind manually swapping out filaments if we are able to. This process becomes increasingly difficult the more colors that are added but do not hesitate to reach out about your request; if we are able to print it we certainly will. Please note that there are limitations when it comes to generating artwork for 3D-printing so an image/pattern that you provide us is preferred. Nonetheless, feel free to inquire about a design that needs a printable image to be created by us if an SVG cannot be provided as we do support Custom Lid Design requests. Filaments come in many finishes. The main ones we work with are Standard, Glass, Fluorescent, Silk, Dual Color Silk, Tri-Color Silk, and Chameleon.- Standard variants are simple and opaque, with a natural light-reflective surface that plastic material possesses.- Glass variants are slightly translucent so you will be able to see the inner structure within the print walls.- Silk variants have a shiny sheen to them, reminiscent to how silk reflects light with a glossy smooth finish.- Fluorescent variants are vibrant and glow under a black light.- Dual Colored Silk variants use filaments that contain two colors throughout the entirety of the roll. Unlike multicolored filaments that produce a vertically-layered gradient effect, this filament prints its color shift horizontally so rotating the finished product showcases the color shift.- TriColored Silk variants showcase a similar horizontal color-shift using three colors.- Chameleon variants slightly shift between two colors depending on the angle they reflect light and are viewed at. Some color options show a more dramatic shift in colors than others, but all of them are incredibly sparkly with contrasting glitter suspended in the filament. Note that there are many different multi-color filaments on the market under different names (sometimes "red" looks more pink, "gold" looks more orange, etc.) - Feel free to ask for examples of color combinations you're interested in, inquire about color combination options if there is a certain color you want included in the print, or request a specific PLA filament if found online (preferably on Amazon). Inventories between brands are always changing so it is difficult to keep track of all filament options on the market at any given time but if you can find a color combination not listed, we can source it for your print!Send us a message to specify what general color you would like if you are unsure about our options, or more specifically you can provide an Amazon URL of the filament you would like. New to our customization options are print patterns, which can be seen on top and bottom surfaces of the print. You have the option to select from 2 new print patterns in addition to the default appearance. These print patterns will be visible on the top of the lid and underside of the lid.Default Print Pattern - Simple and clean diagonal lines; has a uniform appearance against the textured print bed but the pattern is evident when printed at top surfaces, gives the least-dynamic appearance.Spiral Print Pattern - The filament is placed on the print bed in a spiral formation with a dimple in the center. With this print pattern, light reflects outwards from the dimple in the center and shifts around like lighthouse beams when you view the print from different angles.Starburst Print Pattern - The most dynamic of all the print patterns, almost looks like the print is animated and flashing when you move it around to reflect light at different angles.*Note*: Regular filaments do not show print patterns against the print bed as well as silk filaments do. Silk and Chameleon filaments reflect light the most and are most dynamic when showing off all print patterns. Glass box prints can be modified to have these print patterns showcased in their infill, which is a geometric structure you can see through the moderately-translucent print walls.Please also note that 3D printing is not a perfect technology, on these larger items some warping may occur. If you have any questions or requests, please do not hesitate to reach out!
