Topic: Smoothing prints
So one of the biggest problems *I* personally have is how unfinished the prints look when they come out. I've tried the many various methods to try and smooth them out a bit....
1. Acetone vapor/brushing it on
2. Woodfiller and sanding
3. Just sanding
The results vary on effectiveness, but so far I like the woodfiller method best. Acetone vapor/brushing works OK, but it's not that great in my opinion.
However I recently found this.....

Has anyone tried this? Just curious. I'll probably try it out in a few weeks.
I realize that there is a 3D smoothing pen out there too somewhere. http://www.filabot.com/products/smoothi … =769937541
Has anyone used that and how effective is it? How long does it last?
Just trying to get an idea.
Some of the reason for getting the Da Vinci was for printing out COSPLAY parts, and unfortunately they don't look very good without some amount of finishing. The methods listed towards the top are still time consuming, to the point that I question how much cheaper and less time consuming it is to do it while maintaining some amount of detail.
