We’re a collective of artists and crafters who make custom kits, textiles, digital files and props for cosplayers and private clients. If you want to meet the team, click here!

We're located in Toronto, Ontario and are proudly Canadian. We'd love to have you at the shop, and accomodate visits by appointment only.

The majority of our business goes to the United States.

Everything is made-to-order and the bulk of our products are made in house. Our fabrics and clothing are designed in house and printed by Art of Where in Montreal, Quebec.

As of 2024, manufacturing of select jewelry pieces have been out-sourced to compete with demand and costs.

All textiles are designed by our team in-house. When you place an order for a fabric, we turn around and inform our printers of the order. From there, they either ship the finished fabrics directly to you, or ship them to our shop in Toronto if they require any cutting or additional quality control.

Orders on fabric are fulfilled through Art of Where in Montreal, Canada. They generally take 7-14 days processing depending on the time of year and how busy they are.

We understand that cosplay and costuming can produce a large amount of waste, which is why we recycle filament where possible through the filaments.ca recycling program.

We pack and ship our orders using as much recycled plastic and padding as possible. We achieve this by reusing packaging from orders shipped to us, as well as collecting extra packaging and shipping material from nearby businesses in our community.

Print files are digital products you can use to print our props at home on your 3D Printer. Our files come in .stl format and are generally sliced for 200mm x 200mm x 200mm printer beds or larger.

If you need files sliced for a smaller bed, or altered in any way, contact us! Alteration fees vary by complexity.

Absolutely! If you don’t see the accessories you want listed as a kit, contact us for a
quote and timeline.

We can help you through basic troubleshooting and intricacies of individual files.

Please contact us with specific questions and provide screenshots or photos where appropriate. We also recommend this printer troubleshooting guide that can help you self-diagnose common issues.

A kit is an unfinished, unpainted cast-resin or printed assortment of pieces. While we pride ourselves on clean work that is practically ready to go, some minor sanding of sharp edges and filling of bubbles is necessary on occasion.

Generally, we sell two different types of kits:

3D Printed Kits - 3D Printed pieces that ship to you unassembled and unfinished. Filament colour may vary from the photos shown in listings.

Cast Kits - We used to refer to this category as resin kits, but now we offer kits cast in resin, silicone, urethane rubber, expanding foam, and other materials.

Unless you intend to make drastic changes to a piece, most resin and cast pieces can be put in a ready-to-paint state in fifteen minutes or less. Always refer to the listing for explicit finishing instructions, or view our tutorials.

"Raw" kits tend to have flashing, pour spouts and additional sanding work to be prepared before painting.

Every kit is hand-made. While we maintain consistent moulds, it is natural for hand-made items to have tiny variations between pieces.

Most of our pieces are cast from Smooth-On 30 urethane resin or 325/326 for clear casting resin.

For specialty pieces we use:

• Smooth-On's ONYX (Fast and Slow)
• Smooth-On's 45D, 57D, 60D (semi-rigid urethane resin)
• Smooth-On's Vytaflex (20-40 shore urethane rubber)
• Smooth-On's Ure-Fil 15 (Micro ballon filler for light weight
  casting)
• Smooth-On's Foam-It and FlexFoam-It series

We tint our pieces with a pigment these days because it helps us with quality control and makes it easier to photograph. It varies slightly from batch to batch. Sometimes your pieces may come from different batches and colour will vary.

Absolutely. It is easy to heat up a piece with a heat gun or a strong hairdryer and form it as desired. It is very possible to fold a thin piece completely in half with a bit of care. Thicker pieces will take a bit more time.

We recommend working slow and in stages; if you heat a piece too much it may warp, and if you try to bend it without sufficient heat it will crack/snap.

Check out our tutorial blog for tips on how to sand, prime, paint and assemble your kits. Some specific guides we have are:

• Basic Supplies for Bodyshopping
• Quick Finishing Guide
• 3D Print Sanding Tutorial

Yes! We do print external files for a fee. However, these files must be print-ready and require no modifications.
