Topic: Smoothing station - Egg cooker

Hi all!

I was inspired by Ian and Josh about smoothing the prints with acetone.
I found an egg cooker and tried some small prints - and it was great! The size is a limit, but my overall prints isn't filling the whole space inside the cooker afterall.

Here is a quick overview of the little process:

A small amount of acetone - pour into the futuristic machine:

Turn on the egg cooker and wait for 20 seconds:

The finished product. I could have put more time in sanding, but first test anyways big_smile

I will try some more soon. The concept seems very easy.
But it seems that my Z-axis is a bit wobbly.

At least egg sized objects will fit. tongue
