Probably going to dry the filament and reprint it but overall it turned out pretty good. Printed on a Bambu A-1 mini
Clear coat it or the layer lines will pick up all the gamer gunk(dead skin and oils).
Frankly, a few dozen passes with 120-220 grit, (with the grain) followed by a quick acetone wipe down (picks up any particulate) and then a couple light coats of gloss varnish (spray; 8-10" away, just enough to begin saturating the surface) varnish before waiting 24hrs+ (ie. gas off) to box it up… is the pro move here. 🫶🏼🤓
I try and avoid sanding plastic as much as possible even if it’s PLA
I’ve never tried it but this method looks interesting. I wonder if it would work with clear primer instead of paint.

Nice, good print, what was the orientation?
Decent!!
Next one might be good. This PLA has been sitting out for months and I didn’t dry it before printing. I had to file down some of the button holes because the buttons can stick down.
The finish looks impressive for a print. Which filament did you use?
Pretty sure it’s this one https://www.matterhackers.com/store/l/silky-magenta-mh-build-series-pla-filament-175mm-1kg/sk/MRN9G6FN
That’s very cool! I’ll have to make one for my wife :)
This one is already for your wife
oh gee, thanks! 🤣
Nice, link to the file?
Slick!
