How It Works

Post-processing workflow: 1) Remove supports, 2) Sand with 120 → 220 → 400 grit, 3) Apply filler primer, 4) Wet sand 600 grit, 5) Spray primer, 6) Paint. ABS can be vapor-smoothed with acetone. Resin prints need UV post-cure. Each step multiplies the effort — most functional prints only need step 1-2.
