UKCA Compliance Guide for Mini 3D Prints and 3D Printed Toys

Selling 3D printed dragons, articulated animals, tabletop miniatures, or keyrings on Etsy in the UK? This step-by-step guide walks you through everything you need to know to legally sell your products under UK law — without paying hundreds of pounds to a testing lab.

16 pages. Instant PDF download. Written by a working UK Etsy seller.

What's inside:

✓ The "is it a toy?" decision framework — the question most sellers get completely wrong ✓ Product-by-product breakdown: articulated figures, D&D minis, decorative figurines, keyrings & charms ✓ EN71-3 certified filament explained — what it is, what to buy, and where to get it in the UK ✓ How to build your Technical File (with exactly what goes in it) ✓ Correct UKCA labelling for small products — including what to do when the item is too small to label ✓ A ready-to-fill Declaration of Conformity template ✓ Keyrings and wearable charms — additional rules most sellers don't know about ✓ Realistic cost breakdown — most small sellers can self-certify for under £80 ✓ A quick-reference compliance checklist to use for every new product

Who this is for:

This guide is written for UK Etsy sellers who make and sell 3D printed miniatures, figures, articulated animals, tabletop gaming pieces, or keyrings — and who have never dealt with UKCA before. No legal background needed. No jargon. Just the practical steps, in plain English, from someone who has done it.

Important to know:

→ UKCA marking replaced CE marking in Great Britain after Brexit → The Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 apply to far more products than most sellers realise → The "adult collectible" label in your listing title does not exempt you → Most sellers making items for ages 3+ can self-certify — no lab fees required

What you get:

• Instant PDF download — 16 professionally designed pages
• Works on all devices (phone, tablet, desktop)
• Yours to keep and refer back to forever
• Written specifically for UK sellers — not a generic EU or US guide
