I’m curious if anyone uses sandblasting for cleaning up their prints. If not, what’s your favorite way to clean them up?

    Hot air station is a great idea damn. Do you ever have to deal with going too far? I’d be scared 😲

      I haven’t run into any issues, but I tend to print 3-4 walls so maybe that helps. My hot air station has adjustable temperature control and I keep the temps down - usually around printing temperature. I also don’t stay in any one spot too long. You can see the surface finish change sheen as you move on and off a spot and its temperature changes.

      I can’t take credit for the idea. I either read it in a printing community or it was a natural outgrowth of people saying, “use a lighter” and me not owning a lighter.
