Important Printing Information

This is a digital 3D-printable notebook design.

Final print quality, colour appearance, cover flatness, dimensional accuracy, and binding fit may vary depending on printer, nozzle, filament, calibration, layer height, wall settings, top-surface settings, bed adhesion, orientation, colour-change setup, and slicer profile.

Because notebook covers are relatively large, flat prints, good first-layer adhesion and appropriate cooling are especially important to help reduce lifting or warping.

Always inspect the sliced preview carefully before printing.

Pay particular attention to:

• Disc-binding openings

• Cover flatness

• Outer edges and corners

• Small lettering

• Thin character details

• Fine stars and fantasy artwork

• Colour-change placement

• Layer adhesion around the binding edge

• Front and back artwork orientation

Normal FDM characteristics such as visible layer lines, seams, slight dimensional variation, and minor colour or surface differences should be expected.

Sandstorm 3D Designs is not responsible for failed prints, wasted filament, warping, adhesion failures, colour-change problems, incorrect slicer settings, printer malfunctions, dimensional variation, binding-fit issues, page-fit issues, or other printing-related losses.

Files are supplied as-is, and the user is responsible for selecting suitable materials, printer settings, binding components, and final assembly.

Binding, Disc & Page Compatibility

The Boring Planet Notebook is designed around an A5 disc-bound notebook format.

Binding discs, punches, page systems, and A5 paper dimensions can vary between manufacturers.

Before assembling the finished notebook:

• Confirm that the discs fit the printed binding openings correctly.

• Make sure all binding holes are fully formed and undamaged.

• Check that the pages turn freely without excessive resistance.

• Avoid forcing oversized or incompatible discs into the cover.

• Do not aggressively bend the printed cover around the binding edge.

• Confirm page-punch spacing before preparing a large quantity of paper.

Excessive pressure around the binding openings may crack or weaken the printed cover.

Printer calibration, filament shrinkage, scaling, and normal FDM tolerances can all affect final fit.

Commercial sellers should test the exact disc and page system they intend to use before offering finished notebooks to customers.

Filament & Care

PLA is generally suitable for normal indoor notebook use but may soften or deform when exposed to excessive heat, prolonged direct sunlight, or hot vehicles.

PETG or another suitable filament may provide additional toughness or temperature resistance depending on your printer and intended environment.

For normal care:

• Wipe gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth.

• Avoid harsh chemicals unless compatible with the selected filament.

• Keep away from excessive heat and open flame.

• Avoid leaving the notebook in a hot vehicle for extended periods.

• Do not intentionally bend or heavily flex the printed covers.

• Store reasonably flat when practical.

• Avoid forcing binding discs or pages that do not fit correctly.

Safety & Intended Use

The Boring Planet A5 Notebook is intended for normal note-taking, organization, planning, journaling, and decorative everyday use.

Inspect the finished covers and binding areas before use and periodically afterwards.

Discontinue use if you notice:

• Cracking

• Sharp damaged edges

• Warping

• Poor layer bonding

• Damaged binding openings

• Loose or broken printed sections

Binding discs and other detachable notebook components may present a choking hazard.

Keep loose or broken pieces away from young children and pets where appropriate.

This notebook is not intended as a toy or safety-critical product.

Fan-Inspired / Intellectual-Property Note

The Boring Planet artwork uses a stylized cartoon duck dressed as a fantasy wizard.

While the design does not display an obvious third-party brand name or logo, the overall cartoon-duck appearance could potentially remind viewers of established animated duck characters.

Because character appearance can be protected even when a trademark or character name is not shown, I would treat this design with a little more caution than one of your completely original Sandstorm characters.

Any third-party characters, trademarks, names, trade dress, or copyrighted elements remain the property of their respective owners.

No ownership, sponsorship, endorsement, licence, or official association is claimed.

A disclaimer does not create permission to commercially reproduce protected third-party characters or artwork.
