Re: hands on stratasys smoothing station

Will have to put some in the freezer for a half hour first next time... Fail to see how it would improve on the presto / rice cooker/ slow cooker though... Im done finishing a model within 5 mins of starting the acetone smoothing process...

30k sounds cheap tho smile  pffft

Re: hands on stratasys smoothing station

The cooling helps with getting the acetone to condense on the parts. I attempted to smooth some items outside on ahot day and got basically no smoothing, because the aceton did not condense on the parts.  Will have to give the freezer a try.
