Welcome to 3 Blades Maker Lab ("3 Blades Maker Lab," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our website at 3bladesmakerlab.com (the "Site"), placing an order, using any of our online tools, or engaging with our services in any way, you ("Customer," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by the following Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use this Site or place any orders.

1. General

3 Blades Maker Lab is a small maker shop based in Lavon, Texas. We 3D print and sell cases for FPV drones. All products are made to order unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

We offer the following products and services, each subject to the terms outlined below:

  • 3D Printed FPV Drone Cases and Accessories
  • The Point Cloud Playground, an online tool that turns a photo into a 3D point cloud file (see Section 5)

Product availability, pricing, and specifications are subject to change without notice. "Backordered" items may be purchased and will ship when stock arrives.

3. Your Uploads

3.1 Customer-Supplied Content. When you upload images, logos, text, or other content ("Customer Content"), you represent and warrant that:

  • You own the content or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to use it;
  • The content does not infringe any third party's copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights;

We reserve the right to refuse, reject, delete, or report any submission that violates these guidelines without notice, and without refund if production has not yet begun. Repeated violations may result in permanent bans from our tools and services.

5. Point Cloud Playground - Special Terms

The following additional terms apply to the Point Cloud Playground, the online tool at 3bladesmakerlab.com that turns your photo into a 3D point cloud file for you to engrave on your own equipment:

5.1 AI-Generated 3D Models. The Playground uses a third-party artificial intelligence service ("Meshy AI") to convert your 2D photograph into a 3D model. AI-generated models are approximations. Results vary based on image quality, subject complexity, lighting, background, and other factors. We do not guarantee that every photograph will produce a usable model.

5.2 Credits. Renders use credits. A successful render uses its credits even if you are not happy with the result.

5.3 Account Limits. Attempting to get around credit or account limits through VPNs, proxies, multiple accounts, or other means is a violation of these Terms and may result in a permanent ban.

5.4 Image Processing & Data Collection. When you use the Playground:

  • Your uploaded photograph is sent to a third-party AI service (Meshy AI) for 3D model generation;
  • Your photograph, the files made from it, and your email address are stored with your account so you can come back to your projects;
  • By providing your email address, you consent to receiving transactional emails related to your account and your renders.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our Property. All content on this Site - including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, product photographs, product designs, software, online tools, 3D models, and rendered files - is the property of 3 Blades Maker Lab or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or otherwise use any Site content without our express written permission.

6.2 Your Uploads. You retain ownership of original Customer Content you upload. However, by submitting Customer Content through our Site or tools, you grant 3 Blades Maker Lab a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, and display the Customer Content solely for the purposes of fulfilling your order, providing customer support, improving our services, and internal business purposes (such as quality assurance and production review). This license does not grant us the right to sell or publicly distribute your Customer Content for unrelated commercial purposes.

7. Pricing & Payment

7.1 Pricing. All prices are listed in US dollars. Prices are subject to change without notice. Volume pricing discounts are applied automatically based on quantity at checkout.

7.2 Sales Tax. Applicable sales tax is calculated and collected at checkout based on shipping destination, in accordance with applicable state and local tax laws.

7.3 Payment. Payment is processed securely through Shopify Payments at the time of order. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and other payment methods available through Shopify. Full payment is required before production begins.

7.4 Pricing Errors. In the event of a pricing error on our Site, we reserve the right to cancel any orders placed at the incorrect price. You will be notified and offered the option to reorder at the correct price or receive a full refund.

8. Shipping & Delivery

8.1 Production Time. All products are made to order. Drone cases are usually made within 2 business days of your order. Production times are estimates, not guarantees, and may vary during high-demand periods.

8.2 Shipping. Orders ship from Lavon, Texas via FedEx, UPS, or USPS. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on package weight, dimensions, and destination. We currently ship within the United States and to Canada. Current rates and delivery estimates are listed in our Shipping Policy. Orders shipped to Canada may be subject to import taxes, duties, and carrier brokerage fees collected at delivery. Those charges are levied by the Canadian government and the carrier, not by 3 Blades Maker Lab, and are the responsibility of the customer.

8.3 Local Pickup. Local pickup is available in the DFW Metroplex area. Select "Local Pickup" at checkout for details.

8.4 Shipping Delays. 3 Blades Maker Lab is not responsible for shipping delays caused by carrier issues, weather, natural disasters, or other circumstances beyond our control. Once a package is tendered to the carrier, delivery timelines are the carrier's responsibility.

8.5 Lost or Damaged Shipments. If your package is lost or arrives damaged, contact us within 7 days of the expected delivery date at josh@3bladesmakerlab.com. We will work with the carrier to file a claim and, at our discretion, replace the item or issue a refund.

9. Returns, Refunds & Cancellations

9.1 Made-to-Order Products. Every product we sell, including every drone case, is printed after you order it, so all sales are final. We can't accept returns or exchanges on finished orders unless the product arrives damaged, defective, or materially different from what you ordered (see 9.3).

9.2 One-Off Projects. Anything we print for you as a one-off project is also final sale once printing has started. If it doesn't match what we agreed on, 9.3 applies.

9.3 Defective Products. If you receive a product that is defective or materially different from what you ordered, contact us within 7 days of delivery with photographs of the issue. We will, at our discretion, replace the item at no charge or issue a full refund including original shipping costs.

9.4 Cancellations. Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of placement if production has not yet begun. Once production has started (including 3D printing), cancellations are not accepted. Contact josh@3bladesmakerlab.com immediately if you need to cancel.

9.5 Backordered Items. Orders for backordered items may be cancelled at any time before the item ships for a full refund.

10. Product Disclaimers

10.1 3D Printed Products. Our drone cases are 3D printed in PETG. Don't leave them somewhere very hot, like a car dashboard in the sun, for long stretches. 3D printed items may show visible layer lines, which are a normal part of how they are made.

11. Right to Refuse Service

3 Blades Maker Lab reserves the right to refuse service, decline any order, cancel any render, or refuse to produce any product at its sole discretion, for any reason, including but not limited to:

  • Content that violates Section 4 (Prohibited Content);
  • Suspected fraud or abuse;
  • Intellectual property concerns;
  • Quality concerns that would result in a substandard product;
  • Orders that exceed our production capacity; or
  • Any other reason we deem appropriate.

If we refuse an order before production, you will receive a full refund.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, 3 Blades Maker Lab, its owner, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of the Site, our products, our online tools, or these Terms.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising under these Terms shall not exceed the total amount you paid to 3 Blades Maker Lab for the specific product or service giving rise to the claim.

The Point Cloud Playground and the AI-generated models and files it produces are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
