Our Review Policy

✅ Review Policy Summary

We keep it simple:

  • We don’t take money for good reviews.

  • We say what we want—good or bad.

  • You can see the video before it goes live, but you can’t make us change it.
    That’s how we stay honest and keep your trust.

Effective Date: [31/08/2025]

At 3D Print Land, transparency, integrity, and creative freedom are core to our content and reviews. This policy outlines our official stance regarding product reviews, collaborations, and related media.

1. No Paid Endorsements

3D Print Land does not accept financial compensation in exchange for favourable reviews or endorsements. While we may accept free products or services for review, all opinions expressed are our own and not influenced by any third party.

2. Editorial Independence

  • We retain full creative and editorial control over all content published, including video reviews, written media, and social commentary. No individual, company, or brand may dictate the tone, outcome, or conclusions of our content.

 

  • When encountering difficulties, I may initially attempt to consult user manuals, support documentation and community groups before contacting the company representative that supplied the review item. This will allow my experience to be more in line with a typical customer.

 

  • Even when difficulties are resolved, it is relevant to include this part of the review experience in the final video. If it is clear the problem was an anomaly, this will be clearly stated so viewers can see the positive response from the company in rectifying such circumstances. If the issues are not rectified, this is also important to disclose to the viewer so they can see what type of experience to expect as a customer.

 

  • Once the review is agreed upon, a poor experience during my review period is not grounds for the review to be cancelled or deleted to avoid negative publicity. As such, it is particularly important in these cases for the review to be publicly available to warn customers of less than desirable products. Customers expect to buy products that are adequately developed and tested to ensure performance, reliability and safety.

 

  • In the case that I make a verified mistake in my process, I will delete the original video at the company’s request and upload an altered version to be fair and accurate. Reference to the problems of the original video will be made in the description to inform users of my error.

 

  • I will not be held liable for any negative publicity, loss of sales, investment, etc that comes from any review. It is the company's responsibility to create a product that performs well against its competitors. If the product is not of sufficient quality, the review will reflect this.

3. 3D Printer Review Process

The following is a list of typical, but not guaranteed, steps undertaken when reviewing a 3D printer, that are likely to be included in the final video.

  • Summary of the advertised features and capabilities based on product pages where the item is for sale. Content and multimedia made publicly available on the company’s website and/or social media channels may be included in the video.
  • Unboxing, assembly, first print setup including levelling, loading of filament, etc.
  • Evaluation of provided instructions, tools, spares and digital materials as found on an SD card or equivalent.
  • Test printing of files found on the included SD card or equivalent.
  • Test printing using included/recommended slicing software and settings.
  • Test printing using alternate slicing software, if available.
  • A range of test prints primarily in PLA filament, aiming to evaluate performance in terms of:
  • Surface quality
  • Dimensionally accuracy and tolerance
  • Detail in small prints and features
  • Long/large prints in vase mode, typically utilising the maximum vertical build volume of the printer
  • Tests prints in other materials such as ABS, PETG and TPU, where the specifications of the printer allow.
  • Testing of thermal runaway protection and any other relevant safety features.
  • Testing of filament runout detection, power loss recovery and any other relevant features the printer offers.
  • Availability of firmware source for the customer.
  • Analysis of the support documentation and community groups available for the printer.
  • Analysis of modifications and improvements publicly and freely available.
  • A minimum of 100 printing hours is sought in order to adequately experience the typical operation of the printer.

4. Pre-Publication Previews

We may allow brands or individuals to preview content (such as review videos) prior to public release, solely for the purpose of checking factual accuracy. However:

  • Previews do not grant any editorial rights.

  • You may suggest corrections, but we are not obligated to make changes.

  • The decision to alter or retain any content is entirely at our discretion.

5. Disclosure

In compliance with FTC guidelines and best practices, we will clearly disclose if a product was provided for free, if there was a sponsorship, or if any form of collaboration took place.

6. Content Ownership

All review content is the intellectual property of 3D Print Land and may not be edited, redistributed, or republished without prior written consent.
