About the Products
What is HypedAnubis3D?
HypedAnubis3D is a small 3D printing brand based in Massachusetts that makes fan-inspired collectibles including creature balls, ducks, figurines, cosplay pieces, and display items. Every product is 3D printed in-house using Bambu Lab printers and high quality multi-color filament. Learn more on our About Us page, or browse the full shop.
What is a creature ball?
A creature ball is a decorative collectible sphere inspired by the classic fantasy-game capture-ball aesthetic. Each one is 3D printed with sculpted details that reference different creature types, elements, or themes. They're designed for display on shelves, desks, or themed collections.
What is a Shiny Variant?
Shiny Variants are a HypedAnubis3D exclusive. Roughly one in every five orders includes a Shiny Variant, a special alternate-colorway version of your chosen design. It's our way of rewarding collectors with a surprise upgrade at no extra cost.
Are HypedAnubis3D products licensed?
No. HypedAnubis3D products are fan-made collectibles and are not officially licensed or affiliated with any game, franchise, or character brand. Our designs are original sculpts inspired by popular creature types, elemental themes, and fantasy aesthetics.
Who designs the products?
We collaborate with independent 3D artists who create the digital models, and we handle the printing, finishing, and shipping. Every product page credits the original designer. Our lineup includes work from N3D, CPL, Hex3D, Mad Power, Yosh Studios, Atro, IK3D, SEREV3d, So Ducking Great, The Duck Vault, and others.
How big are the creature balls?
Most creature balls measure roughly 75 to 80 mm in diameter, about the size of a baseball. Specialty pieces, display figures, and larger sculpts vary in size. Each product page lists the approximate dimensions.
What material are 3D printed collectibles made of?
All items are 3D printed using premium multi-color PLA filament on Bambu Lab printers. We use a mix of standard, matte, and specialty filaments depending on the design, including glow-in-the-dark and silk finishes on select pieces.
Can I order a custom design?
Some frame-style products like our sports jersey frames and MMA glove displays are designed for personalization. For fully custom commissions, reach out through our contact form with your concept and we'll let you know if it's something we can take on.
Ordering and Shipping
How long does HypedAnubis3D take to ship?
All HypedAnubis3D items are made to order and 3D printed before shipping. Orders typically ship within 5 to 10 business days, though many ship sooner depending on our production queue. Once shipped, orders go via USPS Ground Advantage with tracking included. Full details on our Policies page.
Do you ship internationally?
Shipping destinations depend on current Shopify settings at checkout. If your country doesn't appear as an option during checkout, international shipping may not be available to that region at this time.
What is your return policy?
Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery for unused items in original condition. Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. Custom or personalized items cannot be returned. If an item arrives damaged or has a quality issue, reach out through our contact form and we'll make it right. See the full Policies page for details.
What should I do if my order arrives damaged?
Contact us right away through the contact form with photos of the damage. We stand behind our prints and will work with you to replace the item or issue a refund depending on the situation.
Product Quality
Why do 3D printed items have layer lines?
Layer lines are a natural part of the 3D printing process. Every piece is built up from thin layers of filament, and minor layer visibility is normal and part of what makes each item uniquely crafted. We inspect every item before packing to make sure quality meets our standards.
Will the colors match the product photos?
Filament colors may vary slightly between batches and between what appears on different screens. We try to keep product photos as accurate as possible, but small variations in hue or finish can happen from print to print.
Are 3D printed collectibles safe for kids and pets?
HypedAnubis3D products are designed as display collectibles, not toys. Some items include small parts, sharp edges, or removable elements that aren't suitable for young children or pets. Keep display pieces out of reach of small kids and animals.
How do I care for a 3D printed collectible?
Keep items out of direct sunlight for long periods since PLA filament can soften in high heat. Dust with a soft dry cloth as needed. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or near heat sources.
The Brand
Where is HypedAnubis3D located?
HypedAnubis3D LLC is registered in Delaware and operates from Massachusetts. All orders ship from the United States.
What does "Printing Dreams" mean?
Printing Dreams is our tagline. The idea is simple: take something cool that usually lives on a screen and turn it into something you can hold, display, and enjoy on your shelf.
How does the Anubis Elite rewards program work?
Anubis Elite is our rewards program. Customers earn Ankhs on every purchase at a rate of 5 Ankhs per dollar spent, and 100 Ankhs can be redeemed for one dollar off a future order.
Is HypedAnubis3D on Etsy?
Yes, HypedAnubis3D has a presence on Etsy, but our Shopify store is home base. Newer designs, the Anubis Elite rewards program, and exclusive variants are only available through hypedanubis3d.com.
Where can I follow HypedAnubis3D?
