Custom 3D printing · Medellín

3D printing for cosplay.

At Lío we 3D print custom cosplay props in Medellín and ship them across Colombia: life-size weapons and scepters, helmets, masks, armor pieces and accessories for characters from video games, anime and movies. Send us a reference or the file and we'll give you a quote on WhatsApp.

What we print

Props made to fit the person wearing them, printed in PLA. Anything that doesn't fit in the printer is split into pieces that are then assembled.

Life-size weapons and scepters
Swords, spears, staffs and scepters at the character's size, with an internal rod in the longest ones.
Helmets and masks
With your head measurement, we adjust the scale before printing.
Armor pieces
Pauldrons, bracers, chest plates and other parts of the costume.
Accessories
Crowns, emblems, badges and other character details.
Collectible replicas
Small versions of props to display on a shelf or a desk.

Three finishes

Choose the finish based on how you'll use it, your timeline and your budget.

One color, unpainted
The piece comes out in the filament color you choose. It's the fastest option and a good base if you'd rather paint it yourself.
Multicolor pieces, unpainted
Many designs come split by color: we print each piece in its own color, and once assembled, the prop shows its colors without any paint.
Hand-painted
We sand, apply primer, paint by hand and seal with clear coat. It's the finish closest to the character and the one that takes the longest.

Delivery times

These are approximate times: a large unpainted prop is ready in 5 to 7 days, and a hand-painted one in about 2 weeks. We confirm the date when we quote; if you need it for a convention or a photo shoot, tell us from the start.

Shipping with Coordinadora takes between 1 and 6 days, depending on the city.

How much it costs

We don't have fixed prices: each prop depends on its size, the number of pieces and the finish. Send us the reference and the height you want, and we'll give you a quote on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

How big can a cosplay prop be?
There's no fixed size: anything that doesn't fit in the printer is split into pieces that are then assembled. For example, a 1.6 m scepter is printed in 23 pieces.
What material are the props made of?
We print them in PLA, a rigid, lightweight plastic: a 1.6 m scepter weighs about 670 g. It can be sanded and painted over primer.
How strong are they?
They hold up to a convention or a photo shoot. Long props have an internal rod so the joints don't bend. They aren't made for hitting or combat, and it's best not to leave them in a car in the sun: heat warps PLA.
Do you deliver them painted?
Yes, if you ask: sanding, primer, hand painting and clear coat. You can also get it in one color, unpainted, or in multicolor pieces, unpainted.
How long does a cosplay prop take?
As a guide, a large unpainted prop takes 5 to 7 days and a hand-painted one about 2 weeks. We confirm the exact date when we quote.
Can you print a file I bought?
Yes. Send us the file you bought (STL, OBJ or 3MF) and we'll print it for you in the size and finish you choose. If you don't have a file, we'll go over the options with you using reference images.
