How we work
Every part is printed, checked and packed by us in Birnbach.
We sell on Etsy and eBay; ordering, payment and buyer protection are handled by the platform.
We sell other designers' models only with a licence that permits the sale.
The photos in our listings show our own prints. Some scenes are created with AI from these photos. Every scene is checked before use to make sure it shows the product as it really is.
LayerLabs 3D Publisher
LayerLabs 3D Publisher is our in-house social media tool. We use it to publish our own content to our own business accounts on Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest. It shows photos and short videos of our products.
- The tool prepares posts: image or video, caption, hashtags and the link to the shop.
- The Publisher prepares Instagram posts daily and checks them in several automated steps. Each post is announced to our team in the morning, and any team member can stop it until its scheduled time; without an objection it is published automatically. On Pinterest, a person chooses every pin individually; on TikTok, the Publisher only uploads drafts (see below).
- Some scenes are created with AI from our own product photos. Every scene is checked before use to make sure it shows the product as it really is.
- The Publisher signs in only to our own accounts. It is not intended for other people's accounts and does not read other users' data.
TikTok: uploaded as a draft, published by hand
On TikTok, the Publisher uses TikTok's Login Kit and Content Posting API. It does not publish anything there itself; instead it uploads an approved video as a draft to the inbox of our own TikTok account. This is how a post goes:
- 1
Sign-in: We connect our TikTok account to the Publisher once through TikTok (Login Kit) and grant only two permissions:
user.info.basicfor display name and avatar, so that it is visible which account is connected, andvideo.upload, to upload videos as drafts. - 2
Approval: The Publisher presents the video with caption and hashtags in our internal Slack channel. A person on our team reviews it and approves it with ✅.
- 3
Upload: Only after approval does the Publisher upload the video to our account's TikTok inbox.
- 4
Publishing: A person opens the draft in the TikTok app, checks the caption and settings and taps “Post” themselves.
On TikTok, the Publisher does not read videos, comments, followers or statistics.
How we handle data in the process is described in the Privacy Policy. Its use is governed by the Terms of Service, and Data Deletion is described on a separate page.
