Your subject says plot3d, but your example uses sculpt3d, and you don't 
say what packages you're using.

plot3d and decorate3d are in rgl, but I've never heard of sculpt3d before.

 From your description below, the problem lies in sculpt3d:  it is 
drawing the axis labels even when you don't want it to.

So I'd suggest you contact the author or maintainer of whatever package 
contains that function.

And please don't blame my functions for "mayhem" caused by other people.
