			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I like the idea of a finishing section, but I feel if you compartmentalize it further you&#039;re just going to end up subdividing it enough that people lose interest. With fewer categories, there&#039;s more of a crossflow of information and ideas.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone, new user just registered. Chose this place to hang out as there seems to be a nice solid member base. </p><p>Would really like to begin talks in an area dedicated to Finishing processes. Would be nice to have a more general area perhaps under 3D printers where there are categories like Filament etc. Would be nice to have one called &quot;Finishing Processes &amp; Techniques&quot;</p><p>Really interested in various ways of finishing, would promote new ideas and ways to finish models. </p><p>Could be the following sub category under that header.</p><p>So</p><p>&gt;3D Printers<br />&nbsp; &gt;Finishing Processes &amp; Techniques<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&gt;Chemical (ie Acetone)<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&gt;Mechanical (ie sanding) <br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&gt;New ideas/Concepts/Techniques </p><p>**Some examples that may fall under the Ideas category-&nbsp; Sand Blasting,Bead Blasting,Spray,Vapour,Brush/Polishing. Could even be painting prints/colourisation. </p><p>**What about even strengthening prints? For example does acetone smoothing edges increase the structural print strength by blending the surface.&nbsp; </p><p>**Creating Connections/Joining sections together looking in to creating larger models from multiple sections and the most optimised joining methods. ABS Welding? I&#039;ve seen a&nbsp; piece of filament in a Dremel chuck look pretty successful, or even using a 3D extruder pen. So many areas in these category/fields but keeps it focused to these areas so like my self arriving at a forum can find this field. </p><p>This topic/section could give a great section focused on to these sub areas for driving creativity. </p><p>Any thoughts?<br />Chris</p>]]></content>
