Many of the items featured on Arcade1983 are made via filament 3D printing , primarily using high-quality PLA.

This technology allows for the reproduction of hard-to-find components, such as battery covers for consoles and vintage games , as well as decorative objects and accessories for the world of retrogaming.

PLA is a lightweight, durable, and highly detailed material, ideal for this type of application.

As with all plastic materials, it is advisable not to expose the products to high heat sources or direct sunlight for long periods .

Many products on the site are handcrafted or made on a small scale .

For this reason, slight aesthetic imperfections , small surface variations or signs typical of 3D printing may be present.

These features do not compromise the functioning of the product and are part of the handcrafted nature of the object.

However, each piece is checked and tested before shipping .

Some items in the store are original vintage consoles or games , often produced several decades ago.

Since these are used items, they may not be aesthetically perfect and may show signs of aging such as scratches, yellowing or small wear.

All products are cleaned, checked and tested before sale .

Any significant defects are always clearly indicated in the advert and shown in the photographs .
