FAQ

Is this a physical kit or STL files? A physical kit. The designer’s Kickstarter delivered digital files; we sell the printed outcome. Around 85 printed parts and 320 pins arrive bagged by assembly step, plus the cut acrylic window and the 60 mm puck LED. We never sell files — the designer does that.

I already own the STLs from Kickstarter. Why buy a kit? Because the kit is the part you’d rather skip: roughly five kilograms of filament, dozens of print hours, the acrylic cut to size and the correct recess-sized puck LED sourced and double-checked. Plenty of backers buy the kit as their second box, or as the expansion-ready spare-parts route.

What material should I choose? PETG is the default and the designer’s recommendation for spray work — tougher and more solvent-resistant. PLA is cheaper and fine for dry work (sanding, filing, assembly) but softens with heat. ASA is the durability pick for hot, sunny workshops. The full guidance, in the designer’s own words, is on the safety page.

What assembly tools do I need? No power tools and no screwdrivers — the design uses printed pins, no screws, no nuts, no metal hardware. A rubber or nylon mallet, a hobby knife or deburring tool, flush cutters, a small file, and optionally some superglue for the occasional loose pin. That list is from the designer’s Components List.

How long does assembly take? Panels assemble flat on a table, sub-assembly by sub-assembly, guided by the designer’s manual and the visual assembly flow. Most builders finish in one to two evenings. Damaged a tile later? One small reprint — not a whole panel.

What if I break a part? Order a spare. Spare tiles and pin assortments are standing products on the accessories page — that is the point of a design made from identical tiles.

Can I widen the box? Yes — the designer supports 200 mm expansion modules (front, door and base expansions). We offer the Expansion Module Kit; build the standard box first and extend when you need the bench width.

Is the LED and acrylic included? Both are in the box: the cut 5 mm acrylic window and a 60 mm remote-controlled puck LED sized to the design’s ceiling recess. The only things you might add later are a duct hose and fan, which the designer deliberately leaves to your ventilation needs.

Do you sell STL files? No. That is the designer’s product, sold through Creative3DP. We sell printed parts, kits and spares only.

Can I collect the kit in person? At hobby scale our shipping page is the source of truth; email support@workbox3d.com before ordering if you are nearby and would rather collect.
